| Review #465 |
Normally, at Equipo Navazos they make Sherry. But every once in a while,
they choose one of their finest Sherry casks, and produce a single cask whisky.
This is one of them! It is “around” 12 years old, with the last 7 years spend
in the dry Oloroso Sherry cask. Only 800 bottles were made. The malted barley
used is solely from Castilla la Vieja. Sherry sweetness with red berries, raisins and
apricots in the smell. Some marzipan sweetness is present as well.
Dry dried
fruits in the taste. Nothing too much though. Actually very little for a fully
Oloroso Sherry matured whisky… It’s a bit strange, maybe because it isn’t
Scottish, but there definitely is a bit of an off note if you ask my palate.
The finish is long and warm, but just a continuation of the taste.
I have no
doubt in my mind that this is a top quality cask, but I don’t think the new
make spirit is “top quality”… A fine dram, but the smell is way better than the
rest. A bit high rating because of the great smell, but I will give this 85/100
(23/20/21/21).
