@bob ov

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 19 November 2022). Nose: Dried fruit, dark chocolate cherries, baking spices Palate: Dried fruit, stewed apple, cloves, cinnamon, salt/saline, caramel sauce, chocolate. Nutty & woody dryness. Christmas cake. Finish: Long finish. Salted caramel, cocoa, chocolate, cherries, nutmeg, sherry. Ex-bourbon and (mostly) ex-Oloroso sherry casks Unctuous, full-bodied and sherried. Toffee and dried fruit with a well balanced sweetness. Christmassy. Complex, layered and well integrated. This is a cracker of a dram! Came second out of the six drams, with 20% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 83% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This got my vote for favourite of the tasting.
