Harsh, tannin, coarse, grape cake, fresh foliage, sherry, medical rubber, licorice. Nougat, pastries and orange peel are revealed with water.
A lot of sherry medical rubber, very hot and peppery, hot and young, damp basement with canned food, earth, dust and cobwebs, a lot of obsessive bitterness
More sherry, astringent, very sour, tart, woody, bitter
Just an ordinary sherry barrel, no surprise. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh foliage in the aroma. I love the finishes in port barrels. And I believe that pure aging in port barrels is not good for whisky. Finishes are still ideal. This sample is a great tutorial for my opinion. N: 22 T: 21 F: 20 B: 20
