The fruity, sherried notes make the slight smoke feel intriguing.
At 60.2% ABV, this is a notably high-strength single malt, and the notes give it plenty of flavour to meet that presence: red apples and sherry on the nose lead into creamy, syrupy fruit on the palate. The long, spiced finish and slight smoke and peat keep the sweetness from reading as one-dimensional. A rich, warmly rounded direction, with enough contrast to make the high ABV feel like a deliberate feature rather than the whole point.
BirchCloud18 MarThe syrup-fruit sweetness is balanced by spice and a slightly smoky edge, so it doesn’t read as simply sweet. The creamy, rich palate sounds appealing, though the long, mouth-warming finish suggests a fairly intense style. That balance is the draw.
