- Excerpt: I like it, but I feel it’s a bit singular and simplistic in style. Decent, modern sherried whisky but I feel there are better things around the £60 mark,

- Excerpt: These citrus notes endure well into the finish, outweighing the cereal character that was more evident in batch #1. For what it’s worth, although the whiskies are virtually the same proof level, I find this one to be considerably more approachable at full cask strength, without water added.

- Excerpt: I was wary of yet another NAS "sherry bomb" on the market, especially nearer to the $100 mark, but this nails the profile quite nicely. Plenty of sherry, plenty of spice, oak and pepper to keep things out of cloying territory.

-
Intro:
Distilled by Tamdhu, this NAS release comes to us at cask strength with no coloring or filtering, although we do not know the age.
-
Nose:
Pungent and desserty, tons of caramel, cocoa, brown sugar and a bright nutty sherry character. Really complex, in a way I didn't quite expect - this goes on.
-
Taste:
Medium on the palate, no heat despite the impressive proof. Caramel, brown sugar, some spice drops and pepper. Honey, red apples, blackberry, toffee. Definitely a sherry bomb, tons of coffee and pepper as well.
-
Finish:
Long finish. The sherry character is bold and enticing, sweet with plenty of oak, spice and herbal character to keep things from becoming cloying.
-
Overall:
I was wary of yet another NAS "sherry bomb" on the market, especially nearer to the $100 mark, but this nails the profile quite nicely. Plenty of sherry, plenty of spice, oak and pepper to keep things out of cloying territory.
