Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep mahogany with copper highlights; sherry colour combined with peat spirit creates dark, brooding appearance
Nose
Smoky sherry — peat smoke, dried fruit, dark chocolate, smoked meat, fig, raisin. Heavy peat and oloroso combination is extraordinarily complex. Campfire, Christmas pudding, savoury meaty quality
Palate
Full-bodied and powerful. Peat smoke and sherry fight for dominance — smoked fruit, dark chocolate, barbecue, fig, stewed plum, Christmas cake. Marriage of heavy peat and rich sherry creates something unique. Meaty, savoury, sweet, and smoky simultaneously
Finish
Very long finish. Peat smoke and sherry warmth compete and complement. Smoked fruit, chocolate, barbecue linger. Interplay evolves — sometimes smoky, sometimes sweet. Exceptional complexity
