Tasting Notes
"The sherry influence is obvious. Warming aromas of baking spices, and quite a lot of orange and sultanas, with finally some aniseed popping up. The palate provides plenty of banana, fresh pineapple and delicate honeycomb. There's also room for milk chocolate and soft notes of grapefruit. After 50 years, the oak is present, yet not overpowering. Well-rounded, complex and balanced."
