TASTING NOTES - STONEWOOD SMOKEY MONK

Nose

Interesting, rather complex. There is a minor Sulphur / mineral component, candle match. Some dark fruit, plums, sultanas, dark cherries, bacon and a balsamic components (rhubarb).

Palate

Maybe slightly watery. The tastes are coherent with the nose, dark/red fruit with some balsamic and meaty components. A slightly bitter minor hint, the continuation of the balsamic rhubarb nose sensation, like the one of bitter herbs.

Finish

Rather short, again maybe due to the low intensity of the sip. Red fruit is just a whisper, and the nice balsamic component fades off quickly.

Stonewood Smokey Monk is not a bad whisky, however the interesting balsamic component at the nose quickly fades into a watery sip and a rather short finish, for a not truly long-lasting experience.
