[48.0%・NAS・Bottled in 2012・Original Bottling・Limited Release of 4300 Bottles]
Nose:
Sticky figs and prunes prove captivating, roasted almonds, espresso and tannins smoothed over by the buttery leather.
Palate & Finish:
Liquor cured oranges bursting through with the bright but creamy Sherry influence, ample of wood and leather as well, hitting you right at the spot.
Dark chocolate, leather and tannins just stay on and on and a little longer still.
Thoughts:
Always revisit a dram you enjoyed, it’s been a good few years since I have had a Sherried Hakushu, and truly it gets me just how I like it.
I know I know, no one really cracks a new bottle open anymore but if you get a chance to order a dram do it, sometimes it’s been so long you forget what it’s like to be treated.
☆☆ [Highly Recommended]
