Nose
Apricot-like sherry and buttery, honeyish, malt character. Lots of roundness and depth, even at this young age.
Palate
Lots of sherry, without being rich. Plenty of malt. Sweetish. Very faint hints of flowering currant and Calvados. Tightly combined flavours.
Finish
Satisfying, malty, gingery, becoming dry, with a hint of smoke.
Comment
Very satisfying.

Nose
Bewitching balance of heady sherry, spice and wood. Subtle rhubarby and smoky suggestions.
Palate
Big, creamy nutty and spicy. An obvious rich sherry character prevails.
Finish
Lingering and soothing with wood spices and soft peat.
Comment
A king-pin malt which never disappoints.
