Review #65 - Whisk(e)y #47
Chill-filtered - No
Added Colour - No
ABV - 46%
Aspect - Golden colour, oily in glass.
Nose - Mellow, barely any alcohol, oak...or woody, different than usual...sandalwood?, oak spice, herbacious, greenery, honey, sweetness, caramel, vanilla, marzipan, dry.
Palate - Creamy front end, sharp spicy and dry mid-palate, sweet, malty, caramel, honey, herbacious, orchard fruit, integrated dried fruit
Finish - medium, creamy, cellery, dry after-taste with dried fruit, woody, slightly bitter...very subtle raisins.
Compared to the Lustau, it is brighter, less sherry influence, no figs / distinguishable dried fruit. The Lustau seemed more interesting...However, from this taste pack, this seems to be the most mellow, with flavours that are best integrated together. Much more approachable and much easier to enjoy. Probably for me Lustau > 15yo >>> 12yo.
