Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber gold with copper tones; viscous and full-bodied appearance, very slow heavy legs
Nose
Rich and layered — baked apple, golden syrup, raisins, fresh peach, and milk chocolate. Hints of toffee, orange oil, and an underlying sweet peat smoke. The Madeira cask adds an exotic dried fruit dimension
Palate
Viscous and luxurious. Fresh peach and apricot, green apple and dark cherry, golden syrup and toffee. Sweet peat smoke with a mellow, slightly dusty quality. Ripe banana and juicy orange with moderate smokiness. Full-bodied with silky, oily mouthfeel from 25 years of maturation
Finish
Long finish where sherry comes to the fore, layering in ginger, seaside brine, and lingering fruit. Simultaneously reliable and unique. Velvety walnut and kumquat notes close the experience
