BOW (86)

This packages comes with 2 bottles. Containing a 14 Year old singel cask sherry matured Tomatin and a Sherry bottle from the cask it was matured in.

Malt Fascination (85)

Sniff:
There is a LOT of sherry, and a very sweet style at that. Lots of dark dried fruits and syrupy richness. Dates, plums, figs, sweet oranges.

Sip:
Very similar to the nose, but with quite a bit of bite from the alcohol. Dark fruits with a hint of orange.

Swallow:
A long and sweet finish. Lots of dark syrup with dates, plums, figs.

So, in a way the whisky is similarly generic as the Oloroso cask is, but there is a lot more sherry influence here. Not entirely surprising with a PX sherry, those tend to be heavy hitters when used for maturing whisky. The spirit itself plays second fiddle, but that might just be the distillery style. As with the previous one, a decent dram but not overly memorable.

Once more the conclusion is similar to November 2015. The Oloroso might be interesting for longer, but in a quick tasting, this stands out more.
