Nose
Very rich. Palate
More mellow and rounded, soft and restrained, with very soft body. Finish
Nutty with a flowery hint of peat. Comment
Scores points for sophistication and sherry character.
Jim Murray
Nose
Blood oranges, apples, gentle smoke and oaky saltiness. Delicate and enormously sexy. Palate
Melts in the mouth: sherry, sultanas, honeyed maltiness, spice. Finish
Medium length but extremely clean, chewy and well defined. Comment
A wonderfully elegant whisky.
