Nose: Dark with a warming sweetness. Dried plums. Candied fruits (orange peels?). All covered by a woody character. Lovely. I can sniff this again and again. Palate: Though there are certainly elements of the same notes as on the nose, the palate is a bit dissapointing in my opinion. There is an oaky bitterness and the taste is not quite as sweet as on the nose. A but earthy (in a good way though - like really dark chocholate). Finish: Medium-length. The oak lingers more than the fruits. A nutty taste. Overall: I had the bottle for some time and my opinion on this whisky varied from dram to dram. The nose was always great though. Some days I would have scored it over 4, but some days in the 3.25-3.5 range. I put 3.5 in the end as I, though it definitely had some really great moments, probably wouldn’t buy it again. Note though that I’m not a sherry-fan overall (unless peated), but I hope to find a whisky to change my mind.
