Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

Warming and citrusy, reminds me of Chivas Royal Solute, but not as good. A little too thick and syrupy.

Mike

This had some mild sherry in the nose, a little dried fruit, mint. Some apricot and sugar sweetness on the palette. BUtter, sugar, raspberries. Finish goes to coffee grinds.

Dave

Nice sherried malt with some grassy/hay earthiness that comes forth in the finish. Better than the 12 year and not much more expensive. A solid Sherry to have in the cabinet.

Andy

Nose: Light and dull.

Palate:little bit of oatmeal with a wood finish finish (ie, it finishes like a wood finish)

Not offensive, but I can't help but think that Balvenie did the doublewood thing a little better.

Ries

n: Red Jolly Ranchers, vanilla cake batter, ripe bing cherries, and a bit of dark chocolate.

t: Nice malt with a sherry & oaky influence, but light and on the candy side. Slight sour note fades to warm tobacco leaf. Finishes malty and dry with a little spice.

"Mid-palatte is thin and mostly of red fruit candy" [B-]
