Just had a dram of this whisky and it's surprisingly deep for its age. Not your usual sweet and luscious sherry bomb – that's for sure. First thing I notice is dark chocolate and bitter oranges, with a heavy honey sweetness underneath. There's a herbal edge, almost flinty and saltier, like salted chocolate. Reminds me of ginger cookies fresh out the oven, maybe some sweet and spicy cakes too. The finish is leathery, with a hint of walnutty sherry. I don't get packs of matches, but after a bit, I swear I smell lit cigars. Oh, and there's this earthy note, kinda like turnips, but it adds to the complexity. Really interesting stuff – makes you think. 😊
