Nose
Fresh, creamy, slightly sweet with honey notes, apples, golden raisins, hint of clove, fudge, orange, damp wood notes
Palate
Sweet, fruity (red apples, oranges), dried fruits notes (prunes and raisins), “winter” spices (cinnamon, clove), caramel, butter biscuits, a good portion of oak
Finish
Medium-long, slightly dry, malty and nutty notes, oaky ending
Conclusion
Decent whisky, much more “whole” and rounded than 12 yo, with recognizable sherry influence. Easy going, quite simple but basically flawless and well composed. A good choice for every occasion. Wide availability is definitely a plus.
