A second tasting confirmed the first one. However, the richness of the fragrances and the taste, the delicacy of the finish, despite an evident sherry domination, the very great pleasure I had drinking this exceptional malt made me change my first quotation.


A real explosion of fragrances at the very first nosing... announces immediately an exceptional whisky. I found all the richness of a whisky matured in sherry casks, like Macallan. This cask strength is easier to taste after having added some water. An exceptional finis. A very great bottle. An expensive one as well...


The nose expresses a rare complex intensity, with very nice hints of ripe fruits, citrus and a refined woody impression on the background. Pepper and spices are not missing neither.
A very nice balance as far as the nose is concerned. In the palate, a mx of woody and fruity (apple and citrus) touches give an excellent impression of contrast between the wood bitterness and the fruit sweetness. A nearly perfect balance between contradictory aromas.
A very nice finish, lingering and warm, leaving a memory of dry fruits.


This remains a wonderful bottle. A very rich nose, mixing sherry, wood and smoke.
In the palate, the sherry is rather present, but does not hide the other aromas, chocolate and tobacco a. o., which make this bottle a great bottle.
A very long finish, with smoke, wood, chocolate and a lot of joy.
