Royal Brackla 12 Year Sherry Cask Finish (Oloroso)

A little sweet, but smooth and delicious.

Nose: Stewed strawberry, plum, orange marmalade, honey, hazelnut, molasses Palate: Slightly astringent at first, rounds out into honey, pear, spice, strawberry, plum, Dr. pepper notes. Finish: Caramel, Cinnamon spice, honey, berry jam Probably the only thing keeping it from being a 5 for me is the astringent flavor on the palate. Still my favorite sherried 12 year year old I’ve had.

A- amber+2, medium viscosity N- honey, vanilla, chocolate, toffee, raisins, dark berries, plums, apricots, licorice, rum cake P- medium spicy arrival (yummy!), full, rich, oily, sweet (vanilla, milk chocolate, rum cake, toffee, burned sugar ), licorice, raisins, dried fruits, dark berries, plums, apricots, walnuts, oak F- medium finish, sweet-oaky-nutty- licorice aftertaste C- since the new revamped of Royal Brackla core range I wanted to try this new 12 YO I don't have a point of comparison with the old 12 YO since I did not try it but I can tell you this I like this one a lot! good amount of complexity in a reasonable price
