• Price (USD): $113.95

Tasting Notes

• Color & Consistency: Light caramel & thick legs that slowly develop
• Nose: Caramel, Vanilla & Apple
  • Taste: Smooth, slightly oily, citrus & iodine
  • Finish: Sherry, decent low heat, stays on the tongue a while like melted butter
• Conclusion: Good but I would look to compare other sherry forward scotch before jumping on this one based on the price. This particular selection is slightly underproof for my taste and could use just a little more kick. There also is just something in the finish, a slight bitterness and tannin-ish aftertaste, that was slightly off-putting.
