A full-powered young sherry monster, the sweetness is rather dominant here, partly on the expense of other flavours. – Rating: 84/100
February 28, 2012
A very pleasant mix of flavours here. This whisky is quite heavily sherried but overall it is rather subtle than in your face. – Rating: 87/100

Quite a sweet dram but extremely richly flavoured, an excellent young sherry monster. – Rating: 87/100

It is a shame that this fine whisky was watered down to 40%. It has a very intetesting character but the watery mouthfeel is just too dominant. – Rating: 83/100
February 18, 2010
Needs time and water to open up. Great nose, but the palate is too herbal for my taste, and even with quite a lot of water it is pretty “hot”. – Score: 74/100
September 18, 2009
A somewhat unusual nutty taste combined with quite a lot of wood spice. Not bad, but lacks some complexity – Score: 75/100
