Locke's 8 year old Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Cooley
84
Locke's 8 year
An 8 year old single malt whiskey from the Cooley distillery. Locke's is a very malty Irish blend.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (80): inexistent. barley, fruit, peach and cherries, a little honey, peat. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (88): . sweet, wood, honey, fruit: peach, mango, tropical fruits and barley. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (84): no finish. honey, vanilla and barley. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Locke's 8 year with 84 points over 100.
