Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber-mahogany with copper highlights; rich sherry colour with smoky spirit
Nose
Smoky Christmas — campfire, dried fruit, dark chocolate, Christmas pudding, heavy peat smoke. Sherry and peat married beautifully over 12 years. Leather, clove, blackberry jam
Palate
Full-bodied. Smoked Christmas pudding, dark fruit, chocolate, peat smoke, rich sherry warmth. Blackberry, fig, leather, clove. More integrated than NAS SFTC Sherry — extra age allows harmony between peat and sherry
Finish
Long finish. Smoked fruit, chocolate, sherry warmth. Peat smoke lingers elegantly. Leather and spice at close
