Whisky Notes (83)

Nose: first impression is that of a sherry bomb, with red fruity notes but also a distinctly floral, fragrant touch. Figs, raspberries, also red fruit gums, later also violets and pine needles. Some herbal notes, like cardamom and rubbed mint leaves. Not really leading to a certain distillery, I’m afraid. Could be sherry or a wine cask…
Mouth: more of this very active wine influence. Fig syrup and milk chocolate, but also plenty of mulched leafy notes. Mid-palate it becomes winey with a green and almost perfumed touch (rose petals). Green walnuts. Herbal and grassy notes. A hint of rubber as well, losing a few points along the way.
Finish: quite long, on liquorice, wood char, roasted nuts and more leafy notes.

A lot of wine notes here, I was thinking of a fortified wine but not sherry. Turns out there was a STR red wine cask involved (full time maturation?). Interesting floral notes but I don’t find the result entirely balanced. I went for Linkwood, but there was little distillery character to be found.
