Nomad Outland Whisky is a collaborative blended whisky from renowned master distiller Richard Paterson and expert Sherry producers Gonzalez Byass. It is made with a selection of over 30 malt and grain whiskies aged between five and eight years old in Scotland. Following that, the whisky is shipped off to Jerez, where it is finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for a year before it is bottled. Richard Paterson and Gonzalez Byass' master distiller, Antonio Flores, experimented with different Sherry casks, including oloroso and fino, but ultimately decided on the Pedro Ximénez casks for this enticing expression.
Raisins, walnuts and orange peel – sherry heaven.
Peppery, fruity and fresh initially, followed by walnuts and molasses.
Sweet and sticky.
In many ways a whisky for the non-whisky drinker! Very smooth and with clear sherry influences, it is amazing value for money. Infinitely nicer as an "everyday" whisky than other whiskies in this price range. I generally head for 20+ year old whiskies and invest too, so I'm not averse to spending enough to enjoy a wee dram, and I suspect the usual bunch will sneer at a lack of complexity (started already below?), but let's just acknowledge that a nice bacon roll can be very enjoyable and we don't have to eat fillet steak every day! Well worth buying. I've awarded 5 stars to offset the whingers!
Tastes like raisin, caramel, maybe some menthol, sweet but not syrupy. Overall lovely and smooth, and I would not have thought it contained unmalted whisky. Reminds me very much of Highland Park Dark Origin in its heavily sherried (or, I guess, Pedro Ximenezed) style, at half the price. One of my absolute favorites in this price range.
Bought a bottle after a sample and am enjoying more and more. Will buy again .
Very disappointing. Initial flavours are raisins and honey and these flavours disappear rather quickly. For me personally this is too sweet. It seems a mix of Cuaranta y tres and The Glenlivet Founder's reserve. Sweet and boring.
Very nice
