Reviewing batch 66
Nose: Cinnamon, almond, and (of course) dark fruits. Clean and warm with a winey touch.
Palate: More cinnamon and more dark dried fruits. Rather sweet. The spice is equally prominent as the fruit. No bitterness whatsoever (!). Very packed with taste though, really potent!
Finish: Dried plums. Cappuchino with a dash of sugar sprinked with cinnamon. Long lasting and warm. Still no bitterness.
Overall: I can see why this gets high ratings. Though not particularly compex, it is darn tasty with a mouthwatering warmth to it. The cinnamon note that follows from nose to finish is really nice. It is accessible and well crafted, with strong sherry notes but no oak bitterness. I score it 4.25 which to me is the score of a great whisly, and notes that it’s darn close to an even higher mark.
