Nose
Floral notes that are almost like walking into a flower shop; banana taffy character; citrus notes; apple and apricot.
Palate
Unbelievably smooth and approachable on the front palate; fruity and nutty with generous vanilla from the bourbon barrel; vanilla buttercream cake frosting quality; homemade frosting with Mexican vanilla notes; orange marmalade or citrus jelly notes; less spice than the 12-year.
Finish
Sweet and lingering; maintains a creamy, smooth character; complex with depth from the sherry influence.
Noteworthy
A step up in complexity from the 12-year with beautiful floral and fruity notes balanced by vanilla and a sophisticated sherry influence.
