Official tasting notes.
“The first impact on the nose has orange peel and a touch of oak, but it’s also very creamy and slightly leathery. Apricots and peaches, and just a touch of raisins.
On the palate, it’s smooth but again, not explicitly sweet or thick: it actually remains on the drier side, albeit with raisiny notes. Fruity but elegant, not dominated by the wine. The leathery note arrives on the palate too, but at a later stage, leading to a finale that shows great minerality together with the delicate tannins: long, warm, caressing but with a touch of spice”
John Atkins –
Cherry, boiled lollies on the nose. Stands up well neat at the 57.3%. Why point three. How does that even work…did they try point 4 and go…now way too much!….who knows…they know…because it’s beautiful. The Sherry is there but not overpowering the original spirit. For me this is more a dram I could get to know. with the finish leaving me wanting more. It dried my mouth out a bit…something salty about this in the afters…fascinating and worth more investigation. On the short list.
