Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep mahogany with dark copper tones; very full legs from decades of sherry cask maturation
Nose
Ripe red apple with fragrant clove and ginger spice. Dried fruit notes develop alongside tangerine peel and subtle beeswax polish. Orange oil giving way to stewed raisin with spicy black pepper
Palate
Strong coffee and fresh ginger, black pepper and cigar tobacco. An abundance of dried red fruit — raisins, dates — alongside orange peel, poached pears and ripe banana. Incredibly concentrated despite four decades in cask. Remarkably powerful at 57.6% ABV
Finish
Very long finish with cigar tobacco, dark chocolate, and lingering dried fruit. Spicy warmth and beeswax. The peat has entirely transformed into an ancient, incense-like quality after 40 years
