Fino is one of the five sherry's made from the Palomino grape. Cheers Jim
Enjoyed this review.
Thanks for reviewing this sherried one. Not my type of whisky, but there certainly will be others that do like grape influenced whisky.
Slàinte mhath
The grape is Palomino. Fino, Amontillado, Olorosso and Palo Cortado are different styles of sherry made from Palomino. Pedro Ximenez is made from…. exactly what you said. Manzanilla is a fino style sherry made in Manzanilla closer to the ocean outside of the sherry triangle of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. Tasted blind it just tastes like Fino.
Miss your shanagins at intro 😅 thanks for review 😊
Great review Jim. Nice to see a Glenmorangie too. Ive got the earlier branded Cognac and Malaga barrel reserve finishes. I agree with you on price though.. Touch pricey for a 12 year old alrhough i do like Glenmorangie. Will try to pick up when it goes on offer somewhere.
Good review. .......... WIne-sk(e)y : no thanks, YOU can keep them all. . . I end up vatting them all to make a Paymore King Alex III . . .
100% correct ( as usual ) Glenmorangie PC finish is Ok ..just ok but def not worth the price , haven't tried the Dunville's but that sounds like well worth a try ..Cheers Jim
I enjoyed the PC very much the first time I tried, as it was different and in my opinion well balanced. I enjoyed it so much actually that it became a permashelf bottle. I have to confess though, either I or the bottle has changed to the extent that I seem to get more and more of a "wood" note, pleasant at first but dull after a while. It must be me given that GM is known for consistency.
I'm glad you are feeling better and able to get a review out. This is an interesting one, but not a bottle I'll chase. The adventure of a very different dram can be a real treat. I especially appreciate learning about the Dunville's. Cheers, Jim.
Cheers Bud. Nice to have something a bit different from time to time.
Nice one Jim. We bought this bottle between 8 friends last year and finished it throughout the night but none of got really connected with it. This one, alongside the Malaga perhaps, are the ones I got the least Glenmorangie like feel, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Interesting whisky for sure and definitely hard to pinpoint the notes like you've said. I'm hearing so much great stuff about Dunvilles, especially the PX version. Hope to try it soon. Cheers Jim!
Thank you for the review. I was tempted as I love Palo Corrado but the price here is 89 euro, so I will avoid it and look to try it in a whisky bar one day.
Great review Jim, when it comes to sherry casks its a bit of a rabbit hole, to the best of my knowledge with the making of sherry they DO NOT want any cask/wood influence so there is no such thing as a spent cask, the question then is as you mentioned is where are all these sherry casks coming from? are they proper sherry casks or seasoned casks?
You had me at Palo Cortado. You lost me when the price came up 😮😂
I like the idea of a different approach from Glenmorangie, but I'm with you: I don't know if I'm ready to pay more for a 12 Year than the Quinta Ruban costs ...
@4:35 white wines don't influence me much either. also tried penderyn a madeira cask whisky, and same there, kinda bland. the glenmo quinta ruban port cask was good, but it tasted like wine. and if i wanted wine, i'd just get wine, cuz it's cheaper. whisky should be rugged but not rough.
I'm almost more curious about this bottle now (which, by the way was the reason for buying it in the first place) than before, considering how you struggle putting exact flavour notes on what you're tasting.
Thanks for the review... uncorking and tasting will be fun (or a huge party if you will 😉).
Cheers buddy! 🥃
😉 cheers Benny.
