Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep mahogany with ruby highlights; intensely dark, viscous, slow heavy legs
Nose
Explosive sherry — dark fruit compote, stewed plums, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, espresso, Christmas pudding. Underneath: nutmeg, clove, bitter orange, and leather. At cask strength, the aromatics are powerful and layered
Palate
Full-bodied and intense. Waves of sherry richness — fruitcake, sultana, fig, dark chocolate truffle, espresso, treacle, marzipan. Spice builds: cinnamon, clove, black pepper. The cask strength delivers extraordinary concentration and viscosity. Benefits enormously from a splash of water which opens up orange blossom and honey
Finish
Very long finish. Dark chocolate and espresso persist, sherry warmth builds, dried fruit and Christmas spice linger. Tannic oak grip at the very end. One of Scotch whisky's great value cask strength expressions
