Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep rich amber with mahogany edges; full, slow legs from two decades of maturation
Nose
Deep Oloroso sherry with stewed plums, raspberry jam, juicy sultanas. Pinot Noir hints, orange peel, dried apricots. Vanilla, toasted brown sugar, milk chocolate, aromatic ginger spice, and sweet peat warmth. Espresso and mascarpone in the background
Palate
Buttery caramel and vanilla pods with sweetened iced coffee and cocoa powder. Poached pears, orange peel, sherried fruits with roasted almonds. An undercurrent of earthy smoke weaves through. Elegant and multilayered but less powerful than the 15yo — more grace than muscle
Finish
Long finish with gentle smoke wafting alongside spiced orange, cracked black pepper, tangy oak. Mellow and settled with sherried warmth. The peat has softened to a background glow after 21 years
