Nose: Sherry with dry citrus and oak. The aromas are okay but unfortunately the best part of this dram.
Taste: Sweet yet spicy and dry. Sherry and oak are present but somehow it feels like all the processing seems to cancel each flavor out. There's no character, nothing to really cling on to.
Finish: Dried fruits and raisins. Oak is dominating. Oily but not as full of oil as the 12 year old.
Balance: Medium body with dry sherry appeal, that just doesn't do it for me. More exotic than Glenfiddich 12 yrs but like their younger dram, without character.
