Review #223 |
This is
from cask #0123 and is matured in ex Banyuls casks, which is sweet wine
barrels. This doesn’t smell like classic whisky, and definitely not Single
Malt. The cask influence makes the whisky smell like a mixture of Brandy and
Metaxa.
After I
have tasted it, I am now sure that I would never have guessed that it is a
whisky! Some fruity notes in the taste like plums and raisins. Kind of decayed
though. Some of the oaky notes is somewhat off as well… The finish is a little
better with some of the sweetness from the fruits coming through, but there is
still something off about it.
I simply
don’t like this one, and I think it is far away from the normal single malt out
there. It is like there is distilled grapes in it with a bitter finish. I will
give this 64/100 (16/15/16/17).
