This is an absolute treat, it has some 33 and 25 Year old casked whisky which has been blended together and then left to macerate a little longer in Sherry butts. I don’t normally go for blends but this just popped out at me and I knew I had to have a bottle. It is fairly expensive for a blend but consider the age it feels like a bargain. I was not disappointed this is something special and am totally smitten. I think this will become hard to get quite quickly.
Nose: Dried fruit soaked in sherry, red liquorice, cinnamon sticks and a hint of cherry brandy.
Palate: Dark chocolate mousse, more raisins, cigar box, treacle tart and more festive spices.
Finish: Jammy sultana, dates, chocolate cake, walnut and caramel.
