Nose: Strong sherry with big oak influence. Apples on the background. Taste: Sherry dominates but it's much smoother than in the nose. Thick stuff, wee spicy with fruits and raisins. Finish: Add water, let the dram open up for 15 minutes or longer. The finish gets nicely smooth. Spices, oil and fruits. Balance: Decent whisky, probably great for sherry whisky drinkers. Taste and finish are the best parts – really just not the best whisky for my palate.
