It's the most diverse, unusual, variable, interesting, delicious beverage on the planet. One could drink two drams a day for the next 50 years and never discover all there is to taste, smell and savour.
Official bottling Single malt - Speyside Mahogany 59.3% ABV Dram
Nose: Raisins, red wine, cream, orange peel, blueberries. Mouthfeel: Medium body, smooth, thickens in the mouth. Tasting: Sweet. Sherry, lemons, crème anglaise, vanilla, white grapes, condensed milk, hints of rose. Finish: Medium. Raisins, oats, something metallic. Comments:
Lovely - real sherry monster! And the high strength makes it all the more worthwhile. Great use of sherry casks to create something so complex. Best sherried whisky I've had so far - must try the earlier batches.
In my book, any distilled spirit made using malted grain mash, where you can still taste the grain. That means malt whisky, grain whisky, bourbon and new make spirit, single, blended or vatted.
