Words of Whisky (87)

Wordfs Of whisky:

very enjoyable whisky with some nice, subtle aromas and flavours. A good job of blending the sherry and bourbon casks. An easy drinker as well. I can't say that I really understand why everybody went all gaga over this one, but it is a well crafted whisky indeed.
Nose
It is ever transforming. First peanuts, oak and wood shavings. Than some light citrus and orange. It finishes with more classic sherry sweetness, albeit very subtle. Light caramel, brown sugar and fudge. Almost no peat or smoke to be detected.
Taste
Oak, some tannins. A bit dry and a slight bitterness. Also some smoke, but not much. Dark spices are present with cloves and nutmeg. Also honey and baked appled, a bit of lemon zest. All in all very enjoyable, but a bit too woody.
Finish
Medium in length. Sweet, oaky and spicy.
