A superb mixture of oak and leather on the nose. An almost perfect structure and balance on the palate with resilient notes of raisin and chocolate.A lingering finish with a mixture of raisins and smoked oaks
Fantastic single malt with toasted nuts and orange peel on the nose. On the palate you get notes of sherry, honeycomb, and vanilla. It has long and smooth finish. I consumed it neat for this tasting
Very good to me, raisins and dark chocolate on the nose, great full taste, got this as a Christmas gift and it did not disappoint!!
Nose of cherry, oak, sherry, caramel, toast, black pepper, molasses, dark chocolate. Palate oak, pepper, burnt caramel, berries.
Very pleasant aroma, soft on the palate but a bit lacking in taste. Run of the mill sherry whisky. A bit disappointing
