English:
An interesting example. Triple distilled SCOTCH single malt. Double cask matured (Sherry cask finish). Sounds not bad... and it is indeed an interesting whisky. Not bad at all.
Color: unfortunately not natural, so it's rather useless to write more about it. Amber
Nose: tonka beans, green pepper, star anise, vanilla, black tea, cereals
Palate: ripe banana, caramel, salt, citric
Finish: medium long, slightly sweet, bananas, star anise
I bought a miniature for about 5€
I don't know if I'll buy another bottle, but I enjoyed a dram. It's not my favorite, but it's really interesting and some of you might love it.
81/100

Deutsch:
Ein interessantes Beispiel. Dreifach destilliert SCHOTISCHER Whisky. Finished in Sherry Fässern. Klingt nicht schlecht... und er ist doch ein interessanter Whisky. Gar nicht schlecht.
Farbe: leider mit Farbstoff (Zuckerkolör). Bernstein
Nase: Tonkabohnen, grüner Pfeffer, Sternanise, Vanille, Schwarzer Tee, Getreide
Körper: Reife Bananen, Karamell, Salz, Zitrusfrüchte
Finish: medium Lang, ein bisschen süß, Bananen, Sternanise
Ich habe eine Mini-Flasche für c.a. 5€ gekauft.
Ich weiß nicht ob ich mir eine neue - große Flasche kaufen werde, aber dieses Getränk hat mir gut gefallen. Dieser Whisky ist nicht mein Lieblings, obwohl er ist doch sehr interessant und manche Whisky Genießer kann ihn wirklich LIEBEN.

I seem to be odd man out preferring this to the younger American Oak bottling. I don't see what's wrong with this bottle? Got it by winning a bet as to who the American president would be. Maybe the price point makes it taste worse, haha. Maybe the victory of the bet makes it taste better!
