Nose
"Sherried" notes: date, dried fruits, walnut/chestnut, heading to rancio. There's a rich, generous spirit as well: burnt orange, rooty, honey.
Palate
Smoke under the rounded nutty dried figgy notes. Honey and soft malt.
Finish
Slightly tannic.
Comment
An old bugger, but the character still shines shines through the sherry.
