70
- Nose
- Salt and oak.
- Palate
- Vanilla, toffee, oil, salt.
- Finish
- Dry, gingery, spicy, woody.
- Comment
- For an allegedly light malt, the flavours sing through but, as the dark colour suggests, there really is too much wood.
80
- Nose
- The Hyde to the Bourbon barrel's Jekyll. The cleanest, deepest sherry aroma you could ever pray for offering subtle spices and delicate malt. To die for.
- Palate
- Massively chewy with sherry making all the play. The malty background is off-key by comparison but the nutty, plummy fruit-cake tones win through.
- Finish
- Medium length and massively fruity.
- Comment
- An immensely drinkable malt that is the alter ego to its sibling cask.
