Tasting notes：

Nose: To a large extent, I can agree with the manufacturer's tasting notes.It gives off an incredibly sweet aroma.The whisky also conveys hints of wet wood. Depending on your taste, this can sometimes be perceived as an off-note.Overall, it is a relatively one-dimensional spectrum of flavors.Classic Oloroso cask notes are more in the background.

Palate: The alcohol is well integrated.When diluted, it loses a lot of its intensity and doesn't get much rounder. In my opinion, it's not worth diluting it.Sweetness predominates here. There is also a certain dried fruit note in the background.It already has parallels to the standard bottlings.But I miss the otherwise remarkable complexity.It is still delicious.

Finish: Not too long.Round and clean.Nothing burns, pleasant and warming.However, the promised taste explosion ("smashing") is rather lacking.
