| Review #312 |
A young
Speymalt from Gordon & MacPhail. Sherry casks as always, and that shows! It
is a mix of first and refill sherry casks. Crème Brule and toffee sweetness in
the smell. Then the fruity notes of raisins and dates. But it ain´t just dark
fruity flavors here… Also some fresher notes like apple and marzipan.
Light
fruity flavor at first in the taste and the oak influence is spot on! Remember
it is a young whisky, so not that much wood on the palate. The darker fruits
gets more dominant in the finish as well as some more oak comes forward.
Incredible long finish considering the 43 %.
This is
very warming in the mouth in a very pleasant way! It is only about 9 years old
and watered all the way down to 43 %, yet it is so full of flavors. I will rate
this 88/100 (21/22/23/22).
