SlowtrainSoda25 AugThe sherry-cask detail sits alongside a character led by glacé cherries and honey, then salted caramel and nuttiness. I like that shift, and the drying finish with blackcurrant cordial gives the sweetness a little balance.
bluehour kettle2 MayThe sweet, rounded notes sound inviting, especially the runny honey and creamy salted caramel against the nutty undertones. Glacé cherries and ripe nectarine give the nose a bright edge, while wet suede leather keeps it from reading as purely confectionary. The drying finish, with blackcurrant cordial and lingering nuttiness, adds welcome contrast. For a 21-year-old sherry-cask single malt, that balance of richness and a drier close feels quietly compelling.
