Nose

Not as clean as usual. A distant sulphur note where the sherry should be. Sweet and pollen encrusted.

Palate

A short, sweet introduction fans out into a mixture of sherry and spice. Levels off with peppery maltiness.

Finish

A soft smokiness lingers endlessly as does the chocolate malt.

Comment

A rich, mouth-filling dram that offers surprising length and depth to the finish.
