Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Nose of toffee, figs, and sherry. Palate is ooh, good. Caramel and toffee tastyness without being heavy. Moderately sweet, sherried, with a typical whisky spice profile, and full -- yet it doesn't make me full-feeling (in a good way). The sherried flavor is somewhat familiar, but in a very tasty and medium-rich way. If the finish didn't grow as dry as it does -- becoming medium-bitter -- this would be a much better single malt. I think this suffers from too much wood. Still good though.

Fuji

N: Sweet and sour. Inner part of sourdough bread (crumb)

P: Gentle sweetness with tangy fruit (white grape and kiwi)

F: Fleeting finish with fudge

Goods

Sherry, oak, fruits on the nose, some wine/fruit on the palate. Pretty thin for me, but really nice. Not too much finish.

n: Caramel and milk chocolate. Hint of lemon

p: Cereal and plums. Fresh lumber. Nice and easily quaffable although ultimately forgettable.
