Very nice for sipping. Not staggeringly complex. Quite mellow. 80 pounds is pricey for such a straightforward bottle. Good stuff that you won't regret buying !
Simply devine but not that over wooded sherry bomb, subtle and fruity and rounded!
Tasty dram with a palate that contains a nice blend of maple syrup, marmelade and some citrucy notes.
Had this open since its Christmas day arrival....and taken my sweet time to get to a review. Yes, it packs a punch, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 58% ABV. Hints of cedar, lavender (barely a touch - thank god) port and oak in the nose, but the nose is not the best thing. Lots of spice and gentle oak in the palate, with nice orange notes - more like marmalade to me. The barley and heather work together nicely, and the nutty spice is not too peppery, or cinnamon-y (like a Highland Park might be - which I adore) but sits in the mix like a gentle mulled wine. Not too oily, not too thin - just right for mouthfeel for a cask strength. Sweet and lingering finish, with some mint and cocoa notes, but the sherry cask gets the last word. No raisiny or grapey elements, but still a dry sherry finish. Very nice break from the saline/peat/pine/smoke Islay scotches I enjoy, but complex enough to keep you sipping and talking all night. Worth it at $122 CDN? I like it enough to call that a subjective question.
I'm not a fan of the late burn but I have to say this stuff is smooth. Pop it open and you are hit with dark fruit aromas, sweet and robust. On the palate I get dark fruits, come cherry dark chocolate and spicy hints of nutmeg. There is a subtle bite on the tongue and upper palate similar to an A'Bunadh but it just adds to a great experience. Best of all there is not burn on the way down. Brilliant!
