Kirkland 23 Year Speyside Single Malt Sherry Cask Finish

Open Date 3-1-2021 Review Date 4-1-2021 Bottle Contents Just below the shoulder @ top of Kirkland Label What can I say but I am totally disappointed at this early review of only 4 weeks open but below shoulder. This has less luster than a Loch Lomond 12 swill whisky. I see that this is bottled for Costco by Alexander Murray and company. Based on the Ultra low quality of this spriit I will never purchase anything from this independent bottle. This inferior product just hurts their brand and makes any serious Scotch fan go to Signatory Vintage products even more. This has the alcohol burn of a cheap whisky half its stated age. Is it really 23 years old? Its hard to believe. I wonder how much food color is in this whisky? From all the high reviews I was expecting something very tasty but my bottle at least this is shite!

Smooth and sweet. Sherry really comes out in the end.

Nose: Sherry, a little musty, cherry and sandalwood Taste: dark cherry, chocolate, spicey, tobacco and oak Finish: coats your mouth, spicey with Tobacco finish Tasted this blind. This is a good dram, but the quality doesn’t live up to the age. You expect more from a 23 year old Scotch, but it’s a great dram for price.

Nice scotch, great value for the age. Beautifully rich color, it’s a nice stained wood color. Lots of sherry flavor and a good bit of charred wood. Some dried fruit and cherry aromas. The finish is sort of flat, a bit of a weakness of the dram.
