Other reviews... Colour; dark amber. Nose: much more sherried of course but the general profile isn’t too different. Strikingly great balance, with lots of fresh fruits, dried fruits and pastries plus a little smoke. Apricots, very ripe mangos, dried oranges, all sorts of raisins, mocha, lots of chocolate, crystallized angelica… Gets also nicely flowery (peonies, violets) and gingery, with a little cinchona (Schweppes). Hints of game. Again, what’s really beautiful here is the balance. Mouth: starts exactly like the old 10 yo plus the sherry influence, which is perfect here. Again a beautiful balance between the sharpness/minerality and the richness brought by sherry full-ageing. Lots of kirsch and guignolet (cherry liqueur), crystallized lemon, pink grapefruit, bitter almonds, Turkish delights, oriental pastries (baklava)… And then we have that huge saltiness, just like in the old 10 yo as well as notes of (high-end) sangria, old burgundy, salted liquorice… Yet, it stays very elegant and never cloying – brilliant! Finish: rather long, still very salty and jammy, also on orange liqueur, getting just slightly drying… Almost perfect! 92 points - whiskyfun.com
