Matured in two woods. For the first time there is a real grape detectable on the nose, appears to be of the crushed sultana school of fruitiness with a few minor honeyed notes also around. This malt has now changed character enormously...and certainly not for the worse. Until recently it was a chalky effort, with accent on the barley and oak. Now the sherry is the major shareholder in terms of all round shape and depth. And very good sherry butts they are, too. A great leap forward this is lush and lovely whiskey.
