Nose
Malty and fruity with a strong sherry Oloroso influence that dominates the nose; classic sherry character.
Palate
Rich and sweet with a creamy, viscous mouthfeel; deep and dark fruity notes from the sherry influence; maltiness with lingering sweetness; full-bodied character; oaky barrel notes that develop as you sip; savory notes present.
Finish
Warm and lingering with succulent character; sweet finish that persists on the mid-palate rather than the back of the throat.
Very good
A full-bodied, sophisticated expression with prominent sherry Oloroso influence that adds richness and complexity without overwhelming the base single malt character.
