Nose
An opulent burst of raisins and plums, underscored by the richness of fruit syrup and strawberries. A waft of tobacco leaf brings sophistication, while liquorice adds a subtle spice. With water, the depth softens into a charming fruitiness, laced with a hint of balsamic intrigue.
Taste
Unmistakably mature and commanding, with notes of well-worn leather and creamy eggnog blending effortlessly into a medley of Glühwein spices, raisins, and luscious fudge. On its own, a robust mousse au chocolat with cherry reduction steals the show, while a splash of water introduces a vibrant fruity lightness without losing its core intensity.
Finish
The culmination is medium-long, where raisins and chocolate reign, joined by a delicate interplay of grapes and a pleasant, drying acidity. Over time, a renewed burst of fruitiness emerges, leaving you longing for the next sip.
A whisky that exemplifies balance and depth, with its sherry-soaked character delivering elegance and power in equal measure.
