Nose

Rich, powerful sherry notes: cake, nut and figgy, pruney fruits, raisin, butter and a charred meaty note.

Palate

Great powerful European oak punch: orange, sweet spices, treacle scones, with some sweet spirit well in evidence. The charred notes give it an intriguing balance. Big, rich and savoury.

Finish

Liquorice.

Comment

Well-balanced. The spirit isn't drowned by the wood and sherry. Macallan fans will love this.
