Nose: Can see the menthol from MoM for sure, unripe apple and way more of the glenfarclas grassy note than I got on the 15 or 21. Sherry notes are all there, with some rubber, unripe pear. Maybe some licorice-y cola notes, too. Bitter chocolate. Savory edge.
Palate: funkier than all the others in the core range, nutty sherry notes at the front with syrup in the background - not over rich, balanced with herbal, minty, grassy notes. Maybe some plum. Dark chocolate and coffee. Completely agree with gingerbread from MoM. Ashy smoke in comparison with the 21.
Finish: must, chocolate, cream, grass, sherry nuttiness.
Funkiest of the core range that I’ve tried, maybe more immediately interesting with the 21 but not necessarily better. Fantastic subtle sherried whisky with a herbal edge.
