Sweet Sherry notes with a hint of spice and very subtle smoke

Decent but no bite.

Pretty strong, fruity and a little maple toffee like. Spicy but short aftertaste

Smokey at first after that rich smokey flavor

Nose: amazing, it feels like putting your nose in a basket of cherries. Then vanilla and banana. Special on the nose. Palate: always a little bit of cherry, green apple and vanilla. But not even half as pleasant as the nose. Insignificant and very short finish. If the palate and finish had kept the promises of smell, it would have been a full 5. Taking an average, smell 5, palate 2.5, final 1 = Rating 2.8 __________________________________________________________________ Naso: incredibile, sembra di mettere il naso in un cesto di ciliegie. Poi vaniglia e banana. Speciale all’olfatto. Palato: sempre un po’ di ciliegia, mela verde e vaniglia. Ma neanche la metà piacevole come al naso. Finale insignificante e molto breve. Se palato e finale avessero mantenuto le promesse dell’olfatto, sarebbe stato un 5 pieno. Facendo una media, olfatto 5, palato 2,5, finale 1 = Voto 2,8

No smoke, fruity nose, gentle wood at first, lots of spices, quite strong alcoholic flavor after a few seconds, slightly sour aftertaste. Great whisky.
