why I have chosen this time, single malts, which in 10-27 years different sherry casks are matured. Interesting is the cross-tasting, have acted differently as the sherry casks in the Whisky:
The Islay Sherry Gentleman is clearly the Caol Ila, the 27 years in a Oloroso could barrels. He has much less phenol in the nose when his two brothers and is very balanced in the mouth and soft.
The Bunnahabhain is after 13 years in a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask already because of the extraordinary tap a small rarity - which is something at once in the nose and mouth: He has a very pronounced Sherry note, without But while looking artificial - and in the mouth then the phenol is very clear advantage. There is finally a "real" Islay whiskey. The third in the league is a refill sherry cask Laphroaig from one where only one of Sherry Hint about the nose blowing. The peat (phenol) dominates in this bottling clearly. It is already my sixth Laphroaig filling and no one came so much, "Asphalt" on the palate as in the barrel With such an unusual flavor I could not say no ;-).
Tasting Notes:
Bunnahabhain (TWC) 1997, 13 years
54.4% vol - ex Pedro Ximenez sherry cask
Aroma: Peat with a sweet herbal note (Ricola who invented it?) apricots in Sherry
taste: a great mixture of rounded sherry notes and not too obtrusive phenol
finish: long and very oily - and hardly any wood on the palate
Caol Ila (TWC) 1983, 27 years
51.4% vol, ex sherry butt
flavor. : a round "Sherry-peat" Note "- bacon in honey, peat smoke smoked
Taste: salt, bacon and honey crust in peat smoke and a touch of oak
echo : In the beginning we find the oak on the palate; but slowly gives way to sweet sherry, which will last long
Laphroaig (TWC) 2000, 10 years
56.6% vol, refill sherry cask
flavor. peat, tar (and quite clearly) in the nose and a sweet touch of prunes Taste: a road is paved, thyme (Italian herbs) very long (it was probably a long road that was being tarred)
Slainte: wood is well integrated
echo!
