A very powerful smell considering that it is only 40
%. A lot of sherry notes like raisins, dates and plumes. It feels very heavy.
The taste is a bit lighter and suffering from being
watered down to 40 %. Again the dark fruit notes, but also some toasted oak and
slight sweetness. The finish is very dry but still mouthwatering. Hard to
explain.
It is well balanced but a bit predictable, and when
the complexity isn’t that challenging it is a bit sad. I would love if they
made this at 43 or 46 %. That would help the palate and the finish so much.
When that is said, it is still a very good 10 year old whisky! I will rate this
85/100 (22/21/21/21).
