| Review #559 |
This expression was introduced in 2013. It
is called “500” as it has matured for a final period in 500 litre Pedro Ximenez
Sherry butts. Sweet light dates, vanilla and honey at first in the smell. Sweet
raisins and fresh apricots.
The Sherry maturation is more noticeable in
the taste. Again, it is dates, but the sweetness is very present as well. Honey
and fruity sweetness. Some oak comes forward in the finish with toffee and that
sweet raisin you often get from Sherry maturation.
I think it is a quite fair finish. Many
finishes are very short, but in this, it seems like the whisky has extracted
the flavours you want from a PX Sherry cask. It is very easy drinking, and
would probably go great as a whisky for beginners. Well, I enjoyed it very much
as well! I will give this 85/100 (21/22/21/21).
