Nose
Soft toffee, roasted almond, a curl of dried fig. Vanilla and brown sugar from the bourbon barrel, then the oloroso lifts a note of orange peel and walnut skin. Gentle, inviting, unfussy.
Palate
Light-bodied but generous. Caramelised banana, honey on toast, a sprinkle of cinnamon. The sherry brings raisin and a faint nuttiness, never heavy, always dressed for a quiet evening.
Finish
Short to medium, warm and biscuity, with a last whisper of dried fruit and oak. Clean enough to leave room for another sip.
Expert Review
8.2/10A Wicklow grain whiskey rounded out in Spanish oloroso sherry — easy-going, nutty, and quietly likeable.
