Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
The sherry casks are quite evident with stone fruit and cherry mixed with warm baking spices and a light floral incense. … Kudos to their master blender for a harmonious and elegant whisky.
This blended whisky is an ideal sipper, … Those notes are echoed on the palate, but are layered with drier oak and cigar wrapper notes, woven together on a light layer of peat smoke. Soft, complex and well-balanced.
Deep layers of vanilla and mizunara oak with sugar sprinkled pastries, incense sticks, oiled wood, tatami, dried apricot, golden sultana, and faint smoky spiciness. … Slightly gummy finish as the vanilla quenches little eruptions of wood spices.
On the nose pear and creamy. Subtle and cohesive and here comes the coffee, caramel, cinnamon and vanilla. Well rounded, with a splendid expansion of flavour through to the finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
