If sherried deliciousness is what you're after when you're searching for a whisky, look no further than Sherry Bomb! What we've got here is a marvellous 8 year old Speyside single malt, boasting more than its fair share of sherry notes. Expect an expression bursting at the seams with notes of dried fruit, festive spices, milk chocolate, and more. Ought to make a great winter warmer, we reckon...
Dates, sultanas, and a good helping of honey, with a kick of ginger appearing later on. Some sweet coffee notes appear after a few moments.
Chocolate-chip brioche, zesty Seville orange marmalade, cinnamon sticks, maple syrup, yet more dried fruit by the bucket load.
Once again we're treated to raisin, milk chocolate, cassia, and a smidge of old sherry.
Booming sherried notes from all angles here, folks!
Excellent
I got this on sale for £25. If it was permanently priced there, I would give it 3 stars. This is anything but a sherry bomb. Reasonable nose, on the palate it is abysmal, decent finish. Its the palate that ruins it for me - feels like I'm drinking warm water. Probably aberlour by the way so if you're a fan of that distillery, get the 12 year old.
