A good all-around whiskey. Aroma: malt, banana, citrus, sherry, freshly cut grass, sea air (less pronounced than the 12) and oily. It needs time to open up; all the flavors are balanced and create a fantastic composition!
Nose: sherry. Palate: warming, spicy, salty. Not much vanilla. Still drinking the initial pour, and there's a lot of it left.
Citrusy aroma with mineral/salty notes and a few hints of cherry. The taste has a noticeably high alcohol content, with a long finish featuring vanilla and candy flavors.
The alcohol content may have been a bit excessive for my liking
