This is the expression matured in ex-port casks of the awards-winning, cask strength Solist series.
Red bold suggestions, together with a boastful vanilla sweetness: dark cherries, overripe plums, wet sultanas, but winey components are also evident. A very intense nose playing between sweet and bitter sides, the latter almost like licorice. The palate is surprising, with a cherry spirit, bold and intense, adding a remarkable ripe orange side, zests covered in dark chocolate. Alcohol is pretty intense but manageable. The perception is less sweet than the nose. Oaky notes and some chocolate fudge. A truly nice way of managing the winey character of ex-port casks.
94Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.
