Embrujo de Granada Tasting note

84

A great Spanish whisky ellaborated at Granada, just under Sierra Nevada using their fabulous water supplies and the best Spanish barley. Then this dark tawny whisky is aged for years in Pedro Ximenez cask from Jerez giving the result of a dark, sweet whisky with lots of raisins and cocoa. It is very floral.

This dram has a tawny-like color.

Nose (84): average. many floral, sweet, raisins and liquorice.

Palate (85): smooth, oily. sweet, a little chocolate, raisins, floral.

Finish (82): average. sweet, chocolate .

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Embrujo de Granada with 84 points over 100.

[UPDATE:] This wqs the a 3.5 years old whisky. One of the very first batches Destilerias Liber released. Just read the tasting note of the older 5-6 years old bottling that I tasted in WhiskyLive Madrid.

The overall experience is not bad: It is a good whisky, not too complex, on the style of the lowlands. I look forward to try it at an older age, as I have been told that they are maturing it more to create a “black label” expression ( Johnnie walker is omnipresent in Spain :P )
