Nose

Enormous pot still presence softened by a hint of sherry and a sprinkling of ginger.

Palate

Perfect balance of sherry, malt and oak with a pot still backbone. Warming spiciness.

Finish

Hints of cocoa, lingering spice.

Comment

A shade more sherry-intense than it used to be, so some of the finer notes have been swamped. If anything the sherry is of too fine a character. Even so, tremendous whiskey.
