Review #63 - Whisk(e)y #45 Bought from duty free at 28 eur per liter, which seems like a good deal for this quantity. First Marsala cask whisk(e)y I try out, so let's see... Chill-filtered - Yes Added Colour - Yes ABV - 40% Aspect - Golden colour, not too watery in the glass. Nose - Crispbread, malt, oily, honey, cellery, caramel, vanilla...heavily reminds me of the Redbreast 12 on the nose! Fresh orchard fruit (apples, pear), plums, some alcohol and spice. Palate - Prominent spice, but tame, sweet, honey, caramel, crispbread, cereal, oak, dryness. On the back-end it really becomes unique and intriguing...not something I can pinpoint, but fruitiness for sure, complex, raisins, dates (both subtle and integrated). Finish - short-medium, dried fruit...raisins, very pleasant. I think this is quite similar in many ways to my tasting experience of the Redbreast 12, but it delivered where the latter did not! Unique, balanced, spice but well integrated.
