Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich amber with deep copper highlights; oloroso sherry casks give warm, inviting colour
Nose
Rich dried fruit — raisin, fig, date, dark chocolate, orange peel. Oloroso sherry sweetness, Christmas cake, nutmeg, cinnamon. Warm and enveloping, tropical climate concentrates sherry character
Palate
Medium-full body. Rich sherry character — dried fruit, dark chocolate, orange marmalade, Christmas cake, walnut. Warm spice, plum, fig, gentle oak tannins. Subtropical maturation intensifies the sherry cask influence beautifully
Finish
Long finish. Dried fruit, dark chocolate, sherry warmth, spice. Rich and lingering — oloroso character carries through. One of the best-value sherried whiskies in the world
