Nose
Black cherries, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate raisins. Sesame oil, sticky figs and dates. A well-balanced and distinctive opening from the first-fill oloroso maturation.
Palate
Full-bodied, floral and plummy — ripe dark fruits, roast chestnuts, pomegranate juice and overripe bananas. The six component malts create genuine breadth, with the sherry cask providing a unifying richness.
Finish
Long and lightly tannic with Earl Grey tea and orange marmalade. A composed, gently drying close.
