Interested in the feedback on this one, as I am always cautious about buying no age statement single malts. I find them a bit fiery on the palate and not complex enough to let the real flavour come out.

Im expecting a bit different to the glengoyne usual with this. I tried most of theres as i was on a taste there on my birthday and they gave me a few extras including the really dear stuff(which was amazing by way). Well t is Oloroso casked so it will be a bit drier and on the sour side of sweet i expect, also as there will be some young stuff in there it might have a few jagged edges etc, but it will be nice. Was a good price so worth the buying.
I do have another coming sometime but I will keep that a secret for now:D

Yes it is a bit 'fiery' on the palate in a very similar vein to Aberlour a'Bunadh but not the same alcohol hit and it has extremely rich sherried flavours and an excellent finish.
If you want subtlety and complexity I would look elsewhere.

Thanks for reminding me - it needs at least 15 minutes or so to develop deeper flavours in the glass.
I think it's lovely stuff. :)

Me too! Definitely needs to breathe a little bit.
It’s a warm Christmas hug for me when I get in from work. Big on sherry and a long finish. Think I’ll be having this in place of Christmas Pudding [emoji4]

Think there was a bit of crossing of lines here as jules and tony were I think talking re jules whisky blend and I and hibster about the bottle I got.
I could be wrong tho. Both are no age statement.
I think the same info will be similar tho.

The other bottle on my list is Arran Amarone Cask.

And I've an eye on a couple of Irish ones.
