Tasting Notes

Colour

deep amber

air Nose

classic dry sherry, expressive yet a tad austere. A lot of sulphur of the gunpowder kind as well as faint whiffs of H2S (I’m afraid!) Burnt matches, blood oranges, burnt caramel, then strawberry jam and blackcurrant leaves… Starts to smell more and more of orange squash and old walnuts, with also whiffs of pipe tobacco, both lit and unlit. Interesting that Chivas’ blenders chose to bottle this one as a single malt, it’s anything but an easy going whisky

restaurant Palate

very rich and heavy sherry, extremely nutty and pretty dry, all on walnuts, something leathery (not that I eat leather too often), almonds, slightly acidic jam (redcurrants), oranges and lemon drops. A very citrusy kind of sherry! Water isn’t needed here but let’s see what gives… With water (while there’s even more gunpowder on the nose, but no H2S anymore): simply more of the same. Very good now

timer Finish

long, candied, orangey and caramelised. Quite some clove in the aftertaste
