The aroma is like burnt pineapple, quite fruity and sweet, with a hint of caramel too. It has a sharp, peppery taste, feeling light and thin. There's a medicinal quality. It provides a warming sensation as it goes down. It provides a warming sensation as it goes down.
The double cask maturation provides complexity and a warm, caramelized sweetness from the bourbon cask. It's a decent, easy-drinking scotch, and in my opinion, surpasses the 16-year-old version.
First sampled in Ouranoupoli in September 2021 with relatives. An excellent whiskey, very well-balanced and flavorful. No overpowering tastes or scents.
A fine whisky for the end of the evening. Evokes images of a leather armchair and a good cigar. Also pairs well with spicy and flavorful dishes.
Smells of caramel and sherry cask. Very peppery and oily. A mild sweetness lingers, making it very smooth to drink straight.
Tartness, sweet berry, strong pepper, medicinal flavor. Tartness, bold berry, significant vanilla, medicinal taste. Oak.
