Goldlys 14 year old Manzanilla Finish (cask 2629)

Other than detecting a note of burst balloons I enjoyed a warm rich comforting nose of nutmeg-sprinkled apple pie raspberry jam stewed plums allspice and prunes on this whisky distilled at the famous jenever powerhouse of Filliers. A lightweight citrus nose with vanilla tablet stewed fruits watermelon and a fusty grained texture. This settles down nicely with a few drops of water for a short finish of light toffee and hints of cocoa. €38
