Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep ruby-amber with wine-influenced reddish tones; full, viscous body
Nose
Sweet sherry, ripe cherries, marzipan, and white pepper. Rich and complex with wine-cask influence
Palate
Rich and mouth-coating. Thick-cut orange marmalade, oloroso sherry, malt, and milk chocolate. Five different wine cask finishes create unprecedented complexity
Finish
Gentle warming spice and lingering Jaffa orange. Long and satisfying. Richard Paterson's 50th anniversary masterpiece
