Tasting Notes
"Immediately, there's sherry, citrus, and dried fruit on the nose. After a few sniffs, aromas of earth, oak, and tobacco join in. Unlike the nose, the palate brings sweetness through peaches, sweet spices, dark sugar, and cake. A hint of peat is evident throughout. The finish reminds one of the nose, with earth, tobacco, and sherry at the forefront."
