Color : Dark rich gold.
ABV% : 42.80%
Characteristics : Â Rich and smoky character.
Nose : The first nosing exposes a blend of burnt vanilla, sugar and sherry. Subsequent attempts reveal fruity notes, such as apples and oranges followed by hints of oak.
Taste : Initially it seems harsh, but then mellows down and brings out the sherry. It isn’t as smoky or peaty as the Origin, but you can certainly identify these flavors; thanks again to the unusually high percentage of malt whisky (Ardmore). The sweetness associated gradually diminishes and leaves your mouth a bit dry. Furthermore, there’s also a slight nutty and spicy after taste that makes the drink enjoyable.
Finish : Long, warm grapey and mildly spicy, like that of black pepper.
