Nose

Intense malt with a unmistakable sherry richness. Quite firm, fruity and clean.

Palate

Sweet, quite lush start: malt, sherry and soft spice.

Finish

Lashings of toffee with bigger sherry than of old. Dark fudge sweetness gives way to much drier cocoa notes.

Comment

A bigger whisky than of a year or two back with the sherry making a much bigger impression. Quite fruity and full where once it was slightly powdery and over-dependent on the malt character alone.
