Tropical fruit all the way, pineapple in particular. There's also a background cereal note going on, maybe some light spices too, but dominated by the fruit.

Balanced arrival, not as sweet as the nose would have you believe. There are significant flavour transitions here. It actually goes backwards from what a lot of malts normally do. It starts with the dark woody spices and dried fruit, transitions into fresh tropical fruit; mango & pineapple. Very interesting.

Medium to long, a natural progression of the palate. Some wood flavours come forward, but still very much fruit driven.
Comment:
Not going to lie, this one ticks a lot of boxes for me. Its probably what a lot of people would consider a malt for summer time given the flavour profile, but it is such a singular sort of release that I'll definitely be keeping some around regardless of the season. Priced as it is (£44 currently), it is an absolute steal. Go and find some.

Comment: a very nice one, one of the better "double matured" combo of sherry and bourbon cask whiskys....shame it's going away! I am partial to salty notes, and this also has a great mouthfeel.
