Words of Whisky (91)

:

You'd be hard pressed to find a better sherry-matured whisky of this age.
Nose
Oh god yes, mature sherried whiskies like these are a rarity nowadays. Very expressive and rich, yet complex and with plenty of subtleties. That tobacco and wood aroma you get from a cigar box as well as furniture polish, but also black cherries, jammy fruits, sweet oranges, dark Lindt chocolate and a touch of aceto balsamico. It also has a creamy, melted butter-like quality. Totally awesome.
Taste
Thick and syrupy but not sticky, there's plenty of dark, walnuts, roasted peanuts and warming spices like cinnamon on the palate, accompanied by sweet dates, raisins and orange marmalade, but also cassis and a pinch of cracked black pepper corns.
Finish
More of the above. Lingering for a long time.
