Reviewed April 29, 2023 (edited April 30, 2023)Tasted in a James Bentley double walled glass, neat. The nose shows the sherry influence immediately with dark stone fruits and raisins. The longer it sits, the greater the influence. There seems to be a bit of brine and pepper as well. The palate is pepper, baking spice especially clove. The sherry notes lead to plum and dark cherry. The brine also follows the nose. The finish is long and a little dry. Im not detecting a sweet note. What I am getting is long, old-charred wood with slight hints of rhubarb and more pepper. A truly great dram! -

Reviewed February 14, 2023Nose: Dark chocolate, raisins, heather and honey, maple syrup Palate: Not hot, oily, well balanced, front forward zing, sour and bitter ending Finish: Long with slight cereal notes Comments: This is quite a banger if you love this style. Still prefer some peaty goodness over this light floral dram. -
