But I caught nothing sherry-related. If anything the oak was almost absent altogether. I really don't understand why they felt it was necessary to release it at 3 years old. Financially speaking, it was a small release so it wasn't like they made a bundle of it Octomore-style.<br /><br />On the other hand, Josh Feldman liked it and we bought our samples from the same place.

I don't think that works when you're a big industrial distillery and the spirit doesn't get as much copper contact as that in Kilchoman's tiny stills. Some sherry probably would have helped, but it doesn't sound like there's any in there from your tasting notes.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.com
