Tasting Notes
Robert Karlsson	Hey what's going on!? The nose here is hugely intensive. Is this whisky? Doubtful. Rum? More likely. This is one extreme baby. With a little time and reflection yes most likely a whisky. But so exceptionally huge, bitter on wood influence. WOW. What is THIS? Special special and oh so fantastically exciting. Ultra-matured sherry style here. Huge intense taste. Loads of aged bitterness, cherry kernels of the uber-concentrated kind. So much wood influence it's difficult to describe. 0.5cl is like a three course meal. Superbly exciting whisky this one.
Krishna Nukala	Typical sherried nose. Lots of dry fruits and spices- Dry on nose with some organics. In fact very dry almost like tannins. Sweet and smooth with lots of organics. Dark Chocolates, Christmas cake etc etc.... looks a like a whisky that has spent a lot of time in a quality sherry cask. (Blind tasting notes of MMA 2013)
