TLDR;
Soft sponge cake, creamy and simple
Nice Scale: 80/100
An undisclosed highland single malt release from Elixir Distillers, a combination of 3 ex-sherry butts. Each aged for more than 12 years. Bottled at 48% and coded Parcel NO. 7.
A Highland Distillery 2008 12 YO 48%
Nose: Sherried flavours, soft sponge bread -like the guzao （古早）sponge bread, malts. Then the light sugar water comes in. Generally, the nose is towards the lighter side.
Mouth: It starts with a soft approach, just like eating guzao sponge bread. Then creaminess spread itself in the mouth, and spice kicked in as well. Subtle sweetness.
Finish: Blunt finish, creamy and subtle bitter at the very very end.
A simple and easy drink- not complex, the liquid is telling you its story in a simple and straight manner. Also, I feel it is slightly watery, it might be me drinking too much cask-strength whisky recently.
Nice Scale: 80/100
