This release is for Eastern markets only.
Nose:
Heavily spent sherry from leeched casks. A bit of apple juice and lemonade. Malt husks.
Taste:
It's a copy of the mediocre nose. For a whisky allegedly aged only in sherry casks, there's surprisingly little sherry on the palate itself. I guess that's normal for leeched casks though.
Finish:
Short, dry, bitter. Not surprising, when the casks are this weak.
Final thoughts: I don't know what the heck they were thinking with this, besides trying to sell residue malt from old casks. This whisky makes the Glenfiddich 12 actually look very good. I would definitely recommend the latter over this forgettable TGL malt.
