"Unbelievable and super amazing dram . Packed with full notes of caramelized mollasses, nutty with a bit of citrus notes and dark chocolate which stands up very well with hints of christmas cake . I couldnt pick the high ABV. Thanks to the wood influence ."

"This bottle has completely taken my breath away and the Whiskybrother team are at it once again. Restrained yet refined Sherry influence, working in utter harmony with and adding depth and indescribable complexity, to Ancnoc’s beautiful spirit. Old leather, rich, juicy dried fruits, loads of cherry fruitcake and heaps of clove spice. A perfect sherried dram! Astounding!"

"This isn't just a home run, its a hall of famer! I honestly believe this is an instant classic. It is incredible whisky that manages to be balanced even though it is so nuanced and complex. I love sherry-cask maturation, but it can often be a bit brutish... whereas this has finesse for days. Highly, highly recommended."
