Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber-copper; rich and inviting, slow thick legs
Nose
Complex — dried fruit compote, orange blossom, dark chocolate, treacle, and gentle oak. The dual sherry finish creates layered richness. Floral notes from Moscatel. Impressive depth for a Cooley expression
Palate
Full-bodied. Remarkable transformation — the light Cooley spirit has been wrapped in rich sherry opulence. Dark fruit, chocolate, marzipan, treacle toffee, and floral Moscatel sweetness. The 16 years provide oak structure and complexity. One of Cooley's finest expressions
Finish
Long finish with persistent dark fruit, chocolate, and sherry warmth. Floral Moscatel elegance lingers alongside drier oloroso tannins. Proves Cooley's spirit can support serious maturation and finishing
