Overall
Score
7.8
Nose
Fat and very sherried: walnut, treacle toffee, sticky toffee pudding, raisin and a strangely vegetal note.
Palate
Full-on sherry. The wood seems to have taken charge, giving it a slight astringency.
Finish
Long. Walnut bread. Dry.
Comment
Well made, but there's just too much sherry character which diminishes any complexity. A shame for the spirit which seems very good.
