| Review #689 |
This is
Chapter II in the series and is called "Angels & Devils". It
consists of 27 casks distilled between 1997 and 2004. 17 sherry casks, 6
unpeated bourbon casks and 4 peated bourbon casks. 6660 bottles were made. Easy
to note that different types of casks have been used here! A little bit of
everything is going on in the smell. A little white fruits, dried fruits, vanilla and some
peppery notes in the background. Just a wee bit of peat or hay.
Again, a
little bit of everything is rushing in on the palate. A bit confusing… The
white fruits mixes with some burned caramel and oak. The finish gets sweet and
quite pleasant as the alcohol and tannins quiets down. Exotic fruits in the
finish. Goes nicely with the burned caramel and oak.
After a couple of sips, the confusion from the
initial taste is over, and you start to sense the different flavours from the
different casks. If you like picking whiskies apart, this is for you! At this
strength, and with this many layers in the whisky, don´t be afraid of playing
with a little water. I will give this 88/100 (21/22/22/23).
