All tasting notes
Butter shortbread. Vanilla, citrus peel. Some light clove. Fudge and milk chocolate. Intensely aromatic. Buttered popcorn
Taste:
Intense flavour. Sweet arrival with bags of vanilla. Remains relatively sweet throughout. Develops into Raisin and dark dried fruit,
Finish:
Residual dried fruit. Black tea. Ginger heat. Drying over time
Comment:
On the nose this comes across as a very bourbon wood influenced whisky. There's so much butteriness and vanilla, and very intense. On the palate however, the sherry cask really picks up the slack. It has a deep dried fruit flavour like PX or the filling in an eccles cake. The finish is long and balances out the palate with some much needed dryness and fiery ginger like heat. This is definitely one to try if you get the chance. It isn't subtle by any means, it really slaps you around with the flavours, but for the price it's an excellent buy.
