Very nice nose clearly marked by sherry with hings of biscuit and a touch of fruity bitterness. A hint of eucalyptus. This nose announces a great whisky anyway.
The mouth presents some woody bitterness mixed with beautiful fruity notes and some medicinal character. Spices are present too to achieve the whole image. Very interesting mouth but the nose was slightly more spectacular.
The finish is lingering and fresh, dominated by the same pleasant bitterness which characterised this whisky during the whole tasting.
2010The nose is powerful and complex, revealing some very nice sherry notes with woody and spicy hints. Discrete notes of citrus fruit (orange zest) complete the already rich whole.
In the palate, pleasant complex notes, going from citrus fruit to wood, through sherry, spices and malt, the whole being very refined and without any aggressiveness.
A lingering with delicate woody touches finish. A very nice bottle, nicely marked by the many years passed in the cask, without however being dominated by the taste of the wood.
