The smell of sherry on a smoky background characterizes the nose. Hints off citrus fruits, which become soon smoother and sweeter, ending on vanilla flavours mark the palate. A great complexity. The rather long finish recalls vanilla and spices .
2005Slight smoke hints on a sherry background, the whole being slightly acid are the characids of both the nose and the palate.
Acidity (citrus fruits) and spices characterize the taste, and a long finish make the image complete. A pleasant bottle, even if not really essential, except for those who are nostalgic about closed distilleries
2007Very strange. The conclusions of the second tasting were completely different. A great sweetness, characterized by malt and vanilla hints characterize the nose and palate. The finish remains pleasant, even if it seemed much shorter.
This contradictory note is a good example of the differences which can occur on tasting the same.
2006A great smoothness at the first nosing, quite marked by sherry. Notes of fresh hay and fine woody hints appear within a well balanced whole.
In the palate, balance is the essential characteristic too. The notes of the nose are just confirmed. Sherry, light woody hints, malted notes. Nice complexity, no aggressiveness. A very nice whisky.
The finish perfectly prolongs the nose and the mouth. Malt sweetness in association of that of sherry, woody touches. Very long, rich and without any hinder due to alcohol.
This notes are quite different of earlier ones. This means there is an evolution.. (or of the whisky in its bottle -aeration- or of my own papilla's...)
2003The nose seems to be an interesting mix of sherry with gingerbread. Only spices after a while, which gives the nose a pungent character. A veil of smoke on the background.
In the palate, first a strange taste, where sherry seems to dominate some bitter hints, with some chocolate hints. This whisky seems to be stronger than announced on the label...
The nose was quite better than the mouth is. The dry finish is bitter too.
