Strathmill "Back Home Almost" Apollo 10, The Whisky Barrel Exclusive

My third review of the "Apollo Collection" from The Whisky Barrel, is this Strathsmill 14yo called "BACK HOME ALMOST", which honours the Apollo 10 mission, the one that prepared everything for the first moon landing. The three astronauts orbited the moon and they even reached the dark side of it, taking pictures to decide where will the Apollo 11 finally land. Bottled at 61%abv, this single malt has a lovely red blood color. On the nose, it is amazing. Cabernet sauvignon, Metallic and Paper. Almonds and Chocolate milk. Hazelnut and Freshly baked brownies. Very sweet with hints of sulphuric notes. After a first sip, the aroma changed to a lovely vanilla with grapes and raisins. Dulce de leche ice cream and coffee. Bananas. On the palate it is not too complex, but fairly delicious. Cabernet sauvignon, a pepper bomb and some Red fruits. Toffee ice cream and Caramel. Aftertaste is a little short and that is a little dissapointing. Cotton candy, ginger, acid prunes and dulce de leche. Very dry and not too long. Overall, for a 61%abv, this is relatively easy to drink. Lots of sweet flavors and aromas, mostly a winey profile that comes from the maturation in a first fill sherry butt. A very good whisky, from a distillery that i haven't had before, my score for it is 90 over 100.
