Sees odd that I know I've had this a handful of times, even done a few side by sides and the bottle is still above the label even after this pour. Clearly one I've been taking safe pours with.
Nose - Dark berry notes, some musty oak, young spirit, alcohol. A bit of chocolate at the end.
Taste - fruity, oakey, young. Water brings out really just a lighter version of the same.
I really can't think of anything nice to say about this one. It is ok outside of some younger notes. The sherry flavor is pretty good but it's young.
I hate to say it but for over 100 bucks, this isn't just a pass but a hard one. Bonus points for what seem like quality sherry casks and cask strength, but I still am stuck feeling this is a 1 star whisky.

@PBMichiganWolverine I've still yet to have an Abunadh I didn't like. Heck haven't had one that wasn't down right outstanding.
@dhsilv2 sort of like Abunadh. The early ones were great. Then subsequent ones fell substantially in quality
@PBMichiganWolverine I've been hearing each batch is a bit worse than the last, a real shame. They're one of my favorite distilleries.
This is disappointing. I’d have thought a CS version of Glendronach would be pretty good. I have batch 6 I think
