Tastes

Really enjoy everything about this scotch. The nose is perfect to me - no alcohol burn even though it’s almost 60% ABV. And the taste from the oloroso sherry casks are very perfectly balanced in my mind, not overwhelming but not understated.

This Whisky needs to sit for 20 mins in your glass before drinking. I almost hated this whisky. Because I didn’t let it sit in my glass long enough. It was very sharp and the taste was just “chemically” and harsh even with a splash of water. It was a 2 star whisky at best. Then I read some reviews and noticed that people said they let it sit for 15 mins. Holy crap! What a difference. It changed so dramatically, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It’s worth all the rave reviews! Now that I know, this whisky is one of my favorites.

One of the best whiskys I’ve ever had. Kind of sweet, full of flavor and even a tiny hint of smoke. So good.
