The Marketing Malt strikes again! Two first fill European oak sherry butts, filled in 2005 and matured for 20 years, have been married together and bottled with slight reduction at 100 proof / 57.1%.
Entertaining and excellent, this whisky moves from varnish, kirsch and balsamic vinegar to peppery sherry, sour cherries, tobacco and a long, herbaceous finish.
Deeply sherried yet juicy and fruity, with cherries, cranberries, sour plums, cocoa and leather; the reviewer calls it an excellent, luxurious dram.
