Jan Broekmans is the architect of the Daily Dram trading company, founded in 2008. He is a reference in the world of whisky, beacuse he is organised the Spirits in the Sky fair since 2007, and he founded the spirits import and distribution company The Nectar in 2006. This 26-year-old Clynelish was aged entirely in a single Sherry Butt, presumably a Pedro Ximénez, before being bottled and then sold about a year ago. The number of copies produced is not known.

 

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Deep and intense sherry, which crushes the distillate a bit. It's woody, with red fruits, berries, blackberries, leather, heather. Forest undergrowth. Humus and black earth. Almost charcoaled. Pencil lead. Vegetal hints, chlorophyll, holly leaves. On the palate, it's smooth, hazelnuts, but of course the sherry rises once again, cherry clafoutis, damson pie, light sweetness and spices, clove, cardamom, ginger. Fairly powerful finish, but not too much, coal and cola, wood and lignite, blackcurrant.

 

In Short,

It's a very good Sherry, but I didn't find the distillery markers. This is still a high value Whisky, but given the price I'm not sure I would recommend buying. It's also expensive because it's a Clynelish, but if you don't find the fundamentals of Clynelish there, I don't see the point.

Score : 89
