“I love this stuff. It's not my favorite scotch ever, but it's the best scotch I can afford to regularly drink. A splash of water and 10 minutes does it wonders too. It has a great nose of toffee and honey. It gets a bit sweet on the palette, but makes up for it with an ever-drying finish with a touch of oak. ”

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Light and creamy with a mix of supple, soft sherry and Manuka honey. Gentle and well-balanced, there are hints of smoke, rich oak, and a little pine resin.

Palate

Medium-bodied, with notes of date and walnut cake, Oloroso sherry and hints of earthy forest floor. A beautiful note of malt, with toffee apple and a touch of smoke.

Finish

Spicy and long, notes of allspice, cinnamon and cloves, with orange zest and sherry.

Fantastic ‘farclas for the money

OM nyom nom! Not too sweet, not too sherried, not too strong.

What is should be, but nothing more

This is a straightforward, honest dram that offers few surprises but gives you exactly what you expect. It lacks complexity, but definitely has a generous helping of sherry sweetness. If anything I would say that the sherry somewhat overpowers the initial distillation, but for most people, that won't be a bad thing. Not much to say really. A decent entry-level whisky that doesn't disappoint, but makes you wonder what more premium expressions might offer.

Underrated and more complex than expected

underrated single malt especially at the price point Many say it is simple and while I get that view if you slow down and really pay attention i think it is a bit more complex than at first blush The very subtle smoke and sweetness pairs it well with a nice cigar that has a touch of spice

No brainer

I tried this along with my other 12yr old, 43% natural colour whiskies ie Glengoyne, Tamdhu and Glendronach. It’s a good whisky but tastes more like a bourbon matured rather than Sherry matured whisky. My favourite Tamdhu came out on top followed by Glendronach, then this and Glengoyne a fair way behind. I like it but when compared with the Tamdhu or Glendronach all about the same price point it’s a no brainer

Disappointing.

I was excited to grab this at an airport after having loved the 15. Sadly it is quite disappointing. Though only 3 years younger than the 15, it is worlds apart in the body and taste. Spend the extra for the 15, it's worth it.
