House Review
-
Nose:
Sherry, leather, pepper, stewed fruits, cherry, raspberry strawberry cocoa
-
Taste:
Bitter, oaky, spicy peppery. Sherry notes are there though. Sweet toffee, vanilla, stewed fruits, raspberry strawberry grapes and figs. Almost like jam.
-
Finish:
Short, sort of hot, dry and drying. Almost oaky, peppery, tannic and bitter.
-
Overall:
This was oddly hot and tannic despite what 24 years in sherry should have done for a whiskey. Its not that I didn't expect there to be some wood characteristic but the sherry is present in the nose and palate and then dries right up for an overly bitter and dry finish.
