This bottle was exclusively bottled for La Maison du Whisky. It is one of the entries at the Malt Maniacs Awards for 2011. Let's find out how good it is, before the results are announced on 1 Dec.
Aroma: Dried raisins and prunes. Coffee, not black. Some pipe tobacco.
Taste: Christmas cake baked with all the dried fruits (raisins, prunes, cranberries, orange peel, currrants) and nuts (ground almonds). Some spices at the end. By the way, it is quite like an old cognac too. Matured in a sherry cask for 45 years old. Not too much oak despite the age. Absolutely stunning! For me, this is one of the best sherried single malt whisky I've tried.
Rating: 92/100
Update: This baby won a Gold Medal in the Malt Maniacs Awards for 2011. Well done once again, Lmdw!
