Information:
Colour: Dark amber
Nose: Superb, only fruitier and more nervous. Fantastic notes of very ripe black cherries, fresh strawberries, very ripe peaches, and then all what’s associated with strongly sherried whiskies (headed by prunes here). Exceptional nose that reminds me of the best LBV Ports, and this is no joke. I absolutely adore this nose, totally balanced in its extreme fruitiness.
Mouth: I had expected the palate would leave us in peace but not a chance! Very lively, as fruity as on the nose but probably more sherried as such and maybe more classic. Coffee, prunes, chocolate, strawberries, blackcurrants, toffee, raisins, dried oranges and all that jazz. And very powerful, at that.
Finish: Very long, concentrated, classically sherried but maybe a tad less drying than a true sherry monster. Oh well, this is partly why we’re into whisky. Not yet on The Whisky Exchange’s website so I couldn’t tell you about the price but it’ll probably be fair so... Well... - SGP:822 – And just for the ripe black cherries on the nose that remind me of a 1978 Latricières: 94 points.

Information: Den nästan legendariske whiskysamlaren Suhkinder Singh är välkänd för många, speciellt genom sin butik The Whisky Exchange. Suhkinder har lyckats väl med sina samlingar och sin butik, så pass bra att han öppnat ytterligare en i Londons kända Vinopolis, ett dryckes tempel i södra London.
