Nose

Heavier and oakier than the age suggests but with a big, waxy, sherry note offering a cleaner, richer dimension.

Palate

Quite massive with a big sherry surge that breaks against a big malt middle and delicious spices.

Finish

Long, magnificently oaky and proud. Some cocoa and sherry fight for the finish but intertwine.

Comment

Wow!! Who would have thought a mere Speysider could offer such personality and depth?
