Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Mid gold with amber hints; medium legs, slightly deeper color from sherry cask influence
Nose
Mandarin, ginger, vanilla custard, and subtle smoke. The two heavily peated casks add an integrated smoky backbone. Inviting and complex
Palate
Candied citrus, dark chocolate, brown sugar, dried fruits, and warming spices. The Oloroso sherry casks bring dried fruit and spice richness. Heavily peated components add smoke depth without overwhelm. Full-flavored and layered
Finish
Medium-long finish with dark chocolate, brown sugar, and warming spice. Smoke lingers gently alongside mandarin citrus. Dried fruit from sherry casks fades last. Satisfying and complete
