Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The whisky displays an inviting, deep amber hue, suggestive of the Spanish oak sherry casks in which it has matured—a visual promise of richness and complexity.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory experience is both nuanced and opulent. Initial impressions are greeted with aromatic layers of dark fruits—primarily figs, prunes, and raisins—augmented by undertones of oak, nutmeg, and a waft of warming spice. The nose is further enriched by hints of leather and tobacco, adding maturity and complexity to the profile.
Palate (Taste):
The initial sip brings forth an intricate blend of flavors. At the forefront are the dark fruits that were hinted at in the nose, but now they are enveloped in a lush tapestry of spices—cinnamon, allspice, and a touch of clove. A delicate interplay of flavors unfurls: bittersweet chocolate, aged leather, and toasted almonds create a rich and complex yet well-balanced profile.
Finish:
The finish is long, satisfying, and leaves behind a delightful marriage of sweetness and spice. The oak influence is not to be ignored, as it leaves a lingering complexity that evolves, revealing layers of fruit and spice even minutes after the sip.
Mouthfeel:
Robust yet velvety, the whisky's mouthfeel enhances its intricate flavors, wrapping them in a creamy, almost oily, texture that fills the mouth and extends the flavor experience.
