Tasting Notes By NewComersWhisky.com

Color: Deep ruby red.
Nose: Sherry…..big, big, big sherry notes just fly out of the glass. Both Sweet and Dry sherry, a touch of burnt matches (slightly and not bad), figs, nuts, caramelized figs, warm date bread, plums, raisins.
Taste: Wow! The arrival is full of sweet, rich, big, bold sherry. Dark and dried fruits – the plums, figs, dates, raisins. Brazil nuts and walnuts in chocolate, and beautiful herbal spice notes. The sulphury note from the nose does not seem to transfer to the palate. Like the other two, this one offers another wonderfully rich and creamy mouthfeel.
Finish: Bold, rich, dense and long finish. The flavors stay fresh and last. But this is definitely a desert whisky. Yumm!
Overall: This is the third version of a Solist Sherry Cask that I’ve tried and all three have been uniquely – and quite substantially – different, but all good. The first one I tried was dry, nutty, and spiced. The second was a full-on Sherry Monster, with an immense sweetness and a tremendously rich and dense palate. This third version falls somewhere in the middle. This is a slightly less sweet, nuttier, and more complex version that I really enjoyed. Rating: 88
