SCOMA ‘The Unpeated’ (Hazelburn) Single Sherry Cask 2000 (18 year old) 56.3%
Sherry Cask 900
Dist: Dec 2000 Btl: Mar 2019/ Tasted: July 2021
The nose displays immense amounts of pruney dark sherried fruit and Armagnac-esque notes. Hints of polished wood, spice, leather, but no spirit character.
The palate is quite soft given the abv. Like the nose it is very sherry dominated with Armagnac-esque prune, date, walnut and coffee. Long, sherried finish with a little bitter chocolate. Again good maturity but no character other than the sherry.
Water lightens the nose and makes it a little more aromatc. Hints of citrus peel now, but still no spirit character. The palate has become a bit bland and watery. Very homogenous, no length bar a little spice in the after-taste.
