Very nice nose marked by spices. Strong sherry hints. Some smoke behind clear cereal smells. Light violet fragrances, the whole giving a nice balanced impression.
The mouth is first rather bitter, however very pleasant. This bitterness paradoxically gives a nice fresh impression, the spices give it its complex character which enhances the pleasure this bottle gives.
The finish is long and warm, and some bitter impression is rather present at the beginning, developing on notes closer to cereal.

A nice spicy nose with an obvious presence of sherry, even if the malty smoothness seems to dominate. Nice smoky notes appear after a while.
In the palate a mix of spicy bitterness and malty sweetness with a kind of acidity.
The finish is quid acid even if it remains warm and still keeps this bitter notes which make this whisky special.
