Words of Whisky (90)

:

Color
Mahogany

Nose
Big on the sherry, with some furniture polish, old leather and a waxy element. Roasted almonds, chocolate pralines and fudge after that. There's a touch of soy sauce and mushrooms.

Taste
The palate is resembled the nose a lot, with especially the almonds and pralines giving an encore, as well as the leather. But there's also some ginger now, as well as a hint of peat smoke.

Finish
The peat smoke and the spiciness linger for a bit, then they make room for chocolate and a malty sweetness.
Comments
This whisky makes you nostalgic. A great example of old-style sherried whiskies from the sixties. I'm willing to bet a large portion of the casks used for this vatting are from that era
