Wow! [I said it out loud at the time]. Ginormous malt and honey flavor. Fo' shizzle my whiskizzle.
Retaste 2011: Still great, I definitely get some sulfur this time around, but it adds dimension rather than a flaw. Struck match sticks, dark fruits, plums. Somewhat dry.
HOT! Strong nose. Sweet, it's liquid cherries and maple syrup, but with a nice balance of smokey-goodness. The sweetness meshes well with the cask strength - very enjoyable drinking. Long finish.
Sherry and maple syrup on the nose give way to a big punch of sherry on the palate. Dense, rich and lush - pure sherried goodness. Not a lot to say but it hits all the right notes.
