Review #372 |
This Single
Cask from Malts of Scotland comes from a sherry butt with the number MoS12061
and only 585 bottles were made. The smell is full of heavy dried fruits.
Especially plums! Some gentle oak and vanilla as well. Even though it is 58,2 %
it ain´t rough on the nose, just full of flavors.
The taste
on the other hand is very powerful regarding the alcohol. After it settles some
great fruity flavors appears. Some spicy notes comes forward in the finish with
black pepper as the dominant part. Still fruity though, but with more
sweetness.
This needs
water as the strength just is too much for the palate. But don’t worry, the
taste doesn’t suffer from the water. It just makes it a bit more approachable.
This is a bit different than the normal classic sherry influenced whisky you
get from Glengoyne, but still very good. I will rate this 88/100 (22/21/23/22).
