Tasting Notes

Nose

Sherry sweetness, dark toffee, dried fruit. Rich and full, with a nuttiness and a faint whiff of cigar box. The 50% strength gives the nose a presence that most blends lack. Beneath the sherry, malt and a gentle oak spice.

Palate

Full-bodied and sherried — dried cherry, dark chocolate, a prickle of spice from the high ABV. The malt content is high, and it shows — this tastes more like a blended malt than a standard blend. Oak, walnut and a savoury depth mid-palate.

Finish

Long for a blend, with sherry warmth, dark fruit and a lingering spice.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Duncan Taylor's muscular blend — high malt content, 50% ABV, and a sherried richness that embarrasses many single malts.
