Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak

Appearance: Medium Cherry wood. Very slow waxy legs

Nose: Beautifully refined with deep and aromatic sherry.  Like some others in the line-up, it’s a heady rush of decadent fumes such as antique furniture polish (which is a delightful and common trait across many of these bottles), that’s then mixed with moist Dundee cake. With some air the real sticky
sweetness starts to rise. Dates, warm tinned prunes, more cake spice. And there’s another
wave of thick PX sherry and warmed caramel sauce.  It’s another explosion of gorgeous
scents and sensations on and in the nose.

Palate: Nectar-like sweetness with a gentle fizzy and oily consistency. The sherry has had
a huge impact on the wood, and in-turn the wood has imparted its soaked-in treasure.
Burnt toffee crawls around the tongue with dark stewed fruit.  A slight dryness is there
now, as well as a roasted coffee bean bitterness.

Finish: Very long. Sweet sherry, buttery oiliness with a light nuttiness. Pepper wakes
the tongue whilst a hint of polish and tobacco dryness leaves its mark.

Water adds…. Maple syrup dipped apples on the nose. The sweetness on the palate
is just as rich, but has an oiler body now. The finish is dryer with more peppery
woodiness. 

Conclusion: A proper and hugely rewarding sherried whisky. And again, everything
that this distillery stands for in a nutshell.
