* Final: Largo * Nose: Typical of sherry. Noticeable sweetness, vanilla, ripe yellow and red fruits, some sugar in the background. * Mouth: White pepper accompanies sweet cereals, very ripe peach, ginger, flowers
Powerful barley scent, sweet and malty. The taste echoes the aroma. It's spicy and robust, with a rich sweetness beneath. A superb combination. The richness sustains the blend of sweet and spice, leading to a pleasant lingering finish. Amazing.
Taste the malt, pleasant and smooth with only a slight burn at the end. Very reasonably priced, I will purchase it again.
Not bad for a reasonably priced scotch
Overwhelming ethanol on the nose, with a spicy sensation.
