| Review #449 |
This is
from a fresh Sherry butt and only 600 bottles were made. Smoked meat meets
dried fruits in the smell. More meat than fruits. Peat, ashes and oak as well.
The alcohol is very mild on the nose considering it is above 50 %.
In the
taste, it is the dried fruits that has gotten the upper hand. Some oak and
tannins is coming forward as well. It is a long finish and it is very thick in
the flavours (you get what I mean?). Burned oak and ashes again.
You can
really chew this one. No need for a steak here! This is a different profile
than what you normally get when you mature peated whisky in Sherry casks. But
this is fully matured in a Sherry cask and
it is Longrow, so of course it comes out different! I will give this 87/100
(21/22/22/22).
