Tamnavulin Sherry Cask Edition

Initially you get that strong Sherry and grain blend but it gets somewhat overwhelmed by the alcohol itself

It's more likely to be mixed with sherry rather than matured in sherry casks. Too sweet for me but the first sipping was quite good) Update: after a couple days from opening the bottle the taste has become more balanced and pleasant without this expressive sweetness. This makes me change my score to 4.25. It's now very good one for sipping.

Second tasting of the evening. Very discreet and not deep taste, in a bad sense. Sharp alcohol taste and alcohol burning in the mouth. Lots of sharp sweet. A bit of wood cask in the finish. But at the same time, there is a hint of balance in the taste. The smell a lot of alcohol. The nose burns and tickles. Aftertaste: coffee and cigarettes, in a bad sense. Lots and lots of alcohol burning.
