The nose is clearly dominated by sherry, but reveals a nice complexity too, with discrete notes of spices amongst other sensations.
In the palate, this whisky is really wonderful, with clear spicy notes, but staying however very nicely balanced and with a pleasant malty background. An extraordinary finish, giving the impression that this whisky is even greater after swallowing...
A very long finish, where the spicy notes remain, but with some violet or more precisely, liquorice hints. This bottle was a real revelation at the third tasting.

The nose is pleasantly floral with a light veil of smoke on the background. After a while, fruity notes (exotic fruit, mango) appear.
In the palate, a very pleasant impression of chocolate and nuts, followed by fruits (banana, apple) and malt: a nice complexity. A voluptuous whisky.
The finish is long, pleasant marked by both the fruits and some slightly bitter hints (wood).

I expected a salted, peaty whisky, typical from the islands.... None of all. A wonderful whisky, sweet and with a lot of character. A slight predominance of malt? Anyway, an excellent whisky which has its place in each nice whisky collection. A long finish which leaves an excellent memory. Obviously, Chieftain's Choice is a very nice collection.

A second tasting confirmed partially the first one.
The nose is dominated by the sherry and other pleasant fragrances, the palate develops on malt and spices and quite a long and very pleasant finish had as result a slightly better rating this time.
