Reviewed January 17, 2020 (edited April 14, 2020)Served neat in a Glencairn from a freshly opened full bottle. Nose has quite a bit of alcohol, but also has the Sherry influence, with ginger beer and apple turnover notes, and sulphur lurking in the shadows. Entry is smoother than the nose would suggest, with a medium mouth-feel. Vanilla dominates, although not dialed to Bourbon levels, thankfully. Pallate is leathery and nutty with some restrained butterscotch, and slightly underripe Asian pears. The faint bitterness is somewhere between sulphur, lemon and brine. Finish is long, but the alcohol makes its presence known. Cocoa, This is a bit boring, and not as complex as I would expect for the age and price. I loved the discontinued 18, bit this is a huge letdown. Will not buy another bottle of this, ever. I would accept a free dram, however, as it's not offensive. Therein lies the problem: this is no beast, this is a pussycat, and there are other drams that play this game better, for less money. -
