Tasting Notes
"The dried fruits often found in sherried whiskies are first to appear as you take a whiff, but it is blended nicely with a rich malt note as well. Very faint char smoke and some baking spices follow suit. The sherry notes don't overwhelm the whisky, but do lend a bit of a fruitcake quality to the dram. There's a slight oily character on the nose and the whisky itself is moderately full in the mouth. The finish has a little prickle of spices and tastes slightly bitter. All in all, a pleasant, well-balanced whisky to enjoy and who can resist the cute Fox Terrier that adorns the label. Note: This is available in a cask-strength version, but this review is for the 46% ABV bottling."
