| Review #688 |
This is
Chapter I in the series and it consists of 24 casks of whisky distilled between
1996 and 2006. 3 Sherry butts from, 6 Bourbon barrels from 1996, 2 Sherry butts
1997, 8 Sherry hogsheads from 1998 and 5 peated Bourbon barrels from 2006. 6660
bottles were made. Light Sherry influence and crisp green apples in the smell. A
little vanilla, honey and oak as well. A little grass or hay notes in the end.
The dried
fruits gets more dominant in the taste. Some oak, caramel and just a bit of
floral notes. Wow – a little peat builds up and comes forward in the finish.
The white fruits comes a little more forward as well and mixes with the dates
and sweet raisins.
This
constructed very well! A little bit of everything, and the flavours just
compliments each other! Give this time – it changes so much over time, which
just adds to the complexity! The only ‘bad’ thing I can say about this, is that
the floral notes comes a little much too forward (for my taste) over time or
with water! I will give this 86/100 (21/21/22/22).
