Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with mahogany sherry-cask tones; rich, full-bodied appearance
Nose
Earthy peat smoke and dark fruit with fig and toffee. Soft peach, honey, nutty nougat. Roasted coffee, syrup, citrus, chocolate, and crushed sea shells
Palate
Peat smoke, sherry-soaked raisins, figs, orange, black pepper, and walnuts. Intense nuts and sherry with bold smoke and salty roasted nut character
Finish
Quite long and fairly dry with plenty of ashy notes, cocoa, and a growing mineral coastal note. Oloroso sherry influence lingers throughout
