Nose

The sherry is light and clean and gives way to a lovely hint of orange and sweet nuts. Impressively stylish and assured.

Palate

A highly developed and confusingly complex middle tends to nudge back towards sherry dominance.

Finish

Dries as the richer sherry notes fade and the oak takes hold.

Comment

Cleaner than of old but no less characterful. Quite a cerebral whisky.
