It has to be one of the darkest scotches I have tried. The initial nose was very light with just a hint of sherry coming through. After setting for 10min I get a nice chocolate aroma. On the palate I get the sherry, chocolate along with malt a bit of oak and spice. There is a sweetness that I wasn’t expecting. The finish is medium with chocolate, fruit and a very slight hint of oak. Mouth feel is on the edge of creaminess but at least it’s not thin. Overall it was a great purchase. You could pay $100 for it and it would still be a good purchase. Next taste I will bloom it with a drop of water which I almost never do. That is a 2oz pour in the glass.
