Minutia: A combination of Sherry casks and Port finished casks. It’s unclear what the spirit was in before the Port, but I’d guess -ex-bourbon as Sherry cask with a Port finish seems unnecessary. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Mahogany, henna notes; 1.6.
Nose: Nutty, dried fruit, musty.
Taste: Sweet, nutty, spices. Fruit, raisins.
Finish: Dried fruit, nutty malt. Long. Sweet fruit and nuts linger quite a while.
This is alright, but a but lacking the peat I like and whatever it is unpeated drams I’ve loved have. It’s not bad by any means, but not really in what I’m looking for. Fans of unpeated Bunnahabhain I suspect would like this quite a lot.
Score: 77
