Craigellachie Benchmark Sherrybomb Deployment 5 14 Year Old, Oloroso Sherry Finish Cask, Cask #252, 2008, Murray McDavid, 58.9%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

The Oloroso sherry finish is the clear anchor, alongside rich sherry, molasses and dark fruit. The matchbox-strike and sulphur note adds an earthy edge that may not suit every preference. This comes across as substantial and defined rather than soft or easygoing.
