All tasting notes
Vanilla, syrup and fruit with oak and cinnamon.
Taste:
Sweet with ginger, chocolate and caramelized brown sugar.
Finish:
Continuing with chocolate, citrus and fruity accents.
Comment:




Immediately comes across as a sherry cask whisky, however it is a lot more rounded and less bright than many younger sherried malts. Lots of dried fruit and orange zest. There is also a slight minty menthol type note buried in there.
Taste:


Full bodied. Measured arrival, not too sweet. Has a thick, almost oily texture. Intense treacle and dark sugar flavours. Jamaican ginger cake.
Finish:


Long and intense. Oakiness starts to come foward. Residual orange flavours.
Comment:
This is a real beast of a malt. The flavour intensity is excellent throughout. Deinitely one to look out for.
