N: A very inviting and well rounded nose. Just some hints of Sherry. I had to check the pamphlet, and it was finished in Oloroso Sherry for 36 months. This could be a good introduction for someone just getting into Scotch (they should be so lucky...). There is something else going on behind the scenes that may be tropical. Mango, pineapple, and coconut? This is a nose you could easily spend some extended time with.
P: Oily and coating when it hits your tongue. The tropical is here again and then it goes a bit sour, but not in a bad way. It's like essence of a tropical fruit cup. This is not what I was expecting, but it's amazing! The sherry makes an appearance on the exhale and begins to linger. If love to try this at a higher proof, but I'm wondering if it would be a well put together. I'll trust Dr. Bill on this one. If you are looking for a fully coating, tropical Scotch that then transitions into a more traditional sherry finish, I've found it! Absolutely one to sit with and share with friends. It has increased significantly in price since I picked this one up at the absolute edge of two digits, but I'll need a replacement bottle when it's gone.
F: More of a traditional sherry finish. It takes its time getting here. The whole experience is really a journey, so please take your time with this one. Just exhale slowly once you've swallowed your sip and enjoy the ride!
