One of 2700 bottles. From 9 American and 3 Sherry butt. Good label, lightly nicked. Level: into neck.
"...Mouth (neat): there’s this oakiness again, but this time it mingles with the spirit rather better, creating a mentholy and liquoricy profile that works a treat. Vicks, Seville oranges, peppermint, black pepper… You do feel the pepper in the back of your throat even before you’ve swallowed one single drop. With water: classic, complex, herbal, minty, and very raisiny. A blend of oloroso with PX (I know, a crime). Finish: rather long, smoother, never too oaky, with a dry aftertaste." (5 stars-Whiskyfun)70cl. Single Malt., 50.2% volume.
