A sherry bomb on the nose, dark fruits like plum and raisin, the malt comes through at the end, but a hint of barrel tannin also. The taste does not disappoint compared to what the nose promised. Very sweet dark fruit up front, some spice and barrel notes creep up and then are replaced by a nutty dry finish that lingers for a long time. Very oily, it drinks hotter than you’d think but not abrasive. I like this one a lot, shame that it’s discontinued.
