:
Exactly the type of oak forward, sherry matured whisky that I'm not particularly fond of.
Nose
Oak shavings, menthol and cough syrup to start, followed by a hint of balsamic, some almond paste and a pinch of brown sugar. There's some cinnamon, apricot and ginger too. But the oak is really dominant.
Taste
The palate is a bit more agreeable, but there's still loads of oak. Hints of raisins and dates to offset the oak, as well as honey and dried apricots. There's definitely cinnamon again, as well as cloves.
Finish
Oak, ending on a hint of milk chocolate.
