So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …
Tasting Notes: The Christmas Malt 2020 – 19 Years Old Blended Scotch Whisky (44.5%)
|
Colour: Medium sherry. Nose: Powerful aroma of red apples, toffee, raisins and sultanas. There’s also sherbet sweetness to boot. The toffee caramel really takes hold later on. Palate: Sweet apples, toffee, sherry with a little orange. Dark fruits and even darker chocolate. Finish: Spicy, feisty, finish that’ll certainly wake you up! The finish ends with some tobacco dryness. Overall: Once again, The Whisky Exchange haven’t let us down – a great Chrimbo dram – as long as you can leave it that long to drink it! |

Tasting Notes – Highland Park 2003, 16 Year Old Sherry Cask TWE Exclusive – Cask Number 1885 (58.9%)
|
Colour: Amazing dark sherry that clings to the glass! Nose: Dark sherried wood with vanilla, chocolate, sherried fruits & a little orange. Later on comes powerful caramel toffee refreshed by green apple. Palate: Satisfying, substantial mouthfeel with rich sherry and dark wood. There’s chocolate, toffee, heavy fruit Xmas cake with cane sugar sweetness. Finish: Spicy finish that’ll knock your taste buds off initially! But then it mellows into a finely balanced smooth finish. Overall: If you’re friends with Santa then give him a nudge in this direction – this is the perfect Christmas dram to get you sat in front of the archetypal roaring fire and make sure you stay there! |
