Nomad Outland Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. The French spirits company, La Martiniquaise, has released its Label 5, Sherry Cask Finish Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 43% ABV, in select European markets.

Not technically a Scotch whisky (since the final barrel aging and bottling takes place outside of Scotland), Nomad Outland is a blend of around 30 malt and grain whiskies from the Speyside region of Scotland (where Macallan, The Glenlivet, Aberlour and other classics are based). They age in ex-bourbon casks in northern Scotland between two and five years, then transfer to ex-Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. And then the blend travels to Jerez, Spain (sherry’s ancestral home) to rest another year in very freshly seasoned ex-Pedro Ximénez casks in the Nomad cellars of the González Byass wineries. Compass Box released a small quantity (3,439 bottles) of its Great King St. Experimental Batch (Sherry Finish, #00-V4) Blended Scotch Whisky, 50cl, 43% ABV.

Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. The finish is long, refined, and complex, and features a succession of sweet dried fruit notes set against a creamy texture highlighted by hints of walnut and tropical spice. This is an excellent, very approachable blended whisky, showing good integration and a smoothness and a degree of complexity that belies its relatively young age. It would make a superb after dinner dram, yet could equally accompany a rich bisque or a spicy entree. Served over ice or with a bit of water it would serve just as well as an aperitif. Conclusion:Deanston is a sometimes overlooked Highlands distillery that has an excellent range of single malts, including some organic expressions and this limited release 20YO. The whisky was matured in Oloroso sherry casks for two decades, and bottled at cask strength without color added or chill-filtration. There are notes of dried fruit and vanilla on the palate, followed by a hint of baking spice and prune. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. Finish: The sweet fruit and honey notes refine as you swallow, providing a long, chewy vanilla/oak/raisin finish and just a faint hint of smoke. The overall mouth feel is a smooth, medium- to full-bodied whisky with both a surprising brightness and surprising sweetness.

Highly recommended. If you are a fan of Spanish brandy, like a sweeter Scotch, and appreciate the added complexity that a sherry finish provides, then you will find Nomad Outland Whisky an excellent addition to a “Scotch” whisky library even if it is not technically a Scotch. If your tastes run towards “peat monsters,” then it’s best to look elsewhere.

Discover the Timeless Class of Whisky

The combination of the rich, sweet sherry influences and the spice-and-honey notes from the oak aging give the impression not unlike sipping a Manhattan or perhaps some sort of whisky liqueur. The slight bite of spice and smoke means this whisky also pairs beautifully with dark, full-bodied cigars.

Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Whether you enjoy cultivating a wide collection of diverse whiskies or have a tried-and-trusted favourite, you’ll find something to wet your whistle in the Drink Finder range.The use of previously filled sherry butts in the aging of Scotch whisky has long been a ubiquitous feature of the Scotch industry. Historically, the practice was largely reserved for single malts. Macallan, GlenDronach and Balvenie were among the better-known distilleries that offered expressions that had been exclusively matured in one or more combinations of 500-liter sherry butts. Other distilleries offered expressions that had been “finished” from two months to two years in such sherry butts. Palate: Towards the front there is a bright spiced honey which moves into a medium weight fruit-and-nut medley with unexpected sweetness. Our catalogue includes popular brands and rare varieties alike, giving us one of the largest collections of alcoholic beverages in South West England. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky.
