Let's Taste It :
On the nose, candied vanilla mingles with sherry and white grape, leather, caramel, salty iodine, sea spray, yellow plum, disorder and harmony. The tide, white sand, a light salt crust, oily sunshine. Suave on the palate, coconut milk, lavender honey, orchard fruits, yellow apple, pear, pepper and cardamom, perfectly balanced. Very long finish, sparkling fruit juice, lemon and walnut aftertaste. White sand, herbaceous hints, aniseed and rosemary.
In Short,
It's very good, fruity and iodised as it should be, with a very nice balance. However, the sherry is rather light on this cask, so I would have preferred to taste cask 128, reserved for The Whisky Exchange, which was 62.1°. In any case, the whole thing is too expensive for what it is, and I think it should be reserved for hardcore fans, of which I am not.
Score : 89
