Definitely a bottle I want on my shelf all the time. Looking forward to seeing what else these guys can do! Absolutely beautiful colour to the whisky and a beautiful bottle too. I've been sharing it with everyone I know. It is a hard hitting whisky and whilst I personally prefer it neat, everyone who has added some water to reduce that ABV punch has absolutely loved it. I can see myself pairing this with many a cigar.
My personal tasting notes:
Nose: Atypical sherry notes with a hint of cocoa underneath.
Taste: Rich sweetness and spiciness; red berries, dates, liquorice and chocolate stand out.
Finish: Very nice warming spices, complemented by oak tannins. Perfect for those winter months. Flavour is lasting a good while too.
