I don’t have much to say about this before getting into it, just that I was happy to see this was the release last year.
Minutia: Matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, quarter casks, and finished in European oak PX hogsheads. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Brown Sherry; 1.9.
Nose: Spiced fruit into musty into smoked maple syrup, fruity tobacco, earthy must. Delightful.
Taste: Cinnamon, herbal, spicy fruit.
Finish: Spiced liquor, smoke, tar, medicinal, salty.
Really quite nice, but fails to live up to the nose. Not because of anything bad, the nose is just that good. It’s pretty much what you want from a peated and Sherried whisky.
Score: 86
