91pts--Whisky Advocate
Toffee, caramelized apple, plum, black currant, baking spice, peppercorn, and ginger on the nose. The manzanilla and red wine casks result in a delicious whisky, overflowing with black currant, bramble, and black cherry flavors, plus clove and pepper spices that settle quickly, then raisin, mixed peel, and fruit tea flavors emerge. The spices flare up after swallowing, joining umami notes, licorice, and black fruits on the lengthy finish. Fukano fans will love it!
