Strathdearn Sherry Finish Cask Craft (Murray McDavid)
Strathdearn Sherry Finish Cask Craft (Murray McDavid), NAS, 44.5 %
This is another entry in Murray McDavid’s new series called Cask Craft. This particular one is a Tomatin in disguise. Finished in ex-Oloroso sherry hogsheads.
This whisky goes on sale in Norway this coming week at NOK 709 (15433901).
Nose: Shy and closed at first. Hints of leather and dried fruits. Vanilla with time. Cigar box. Orchard fruts in the background.
Taste: Medium body. Shy here as well. Then I get mild spices, and a rather nutty expression.
Finish: Medium long finish. More nuts and peanut butter! Caramel and a hint of pepper.
Comment: Fair enough.
Score 84/100
