Found this one in a gift package and was quite suprised by the strong and sherry-ish nose of this special whisky. Loads of Milka Chocolate too, with some slow vanilla and citrus juice essence. Really hits the tongue right from the start, huge alcohol kick, very warm mouthfeel, very 'autumny' and cozy. Dark fruits mingle with vanilla, chocolate, almonds, hints of anise and sage, powerful and filled with herbs and spices. Sherry and Madeira wine in the aftertaste, combined with wood and dust. Fairly soft burn, compared to the kick it had when entering the mouth. A tad to heavy for me, and definately not one for everyday, although I am fairly enthousiastic of the special and complex palate. But personally, I like them a lot smoother.
