Chivas Regal Extra 13 Oloroso Sherry Cask

For the money this is great. Light and smooth with quite a thick mouthfeel. Sweet Sherry from all those oloroso barrels working well. Nothing too complex or special, but a really solid sherried whisky.

Nose - Light berry. Woody. Slightly floral but not super aromatic. Palate - A lot of cinnamon and baking spice. Super light mouthful, almost as light as water. not thick but too light. Light fruit but not super refreshing. Finish - Cinnamon and baking spice continues through the back end but weakly.

Sherry of course but an easy drink and so delicious!

The nose is simple, but pleasant. Aromas of sweet cinnamon, vanilla and pear. On the palate, flavors of blueberries, caramelized fruits and sweet sherry. The intense finish and rich flavors aren’t far off from the 12 y/o, but notably rounder and lighter. The Oloroso does good things for this whisky, and for the price, it kicks ass. However, it could definitely benefit from a higher proof.
