On the initial nosing I get musty wood, shoe polish, maple syrup, ginger, and baked apple. As the nose develops I also get raisin, sherry, stewed prunes, and a hint of baked bananas. On the palate it’s smooth, thick and oily, a little heat, and sweetness. The finish is short to medium length with a mouth coating sweetness and a bit of spiciness. Overall this is a pleasant easy drinking dram with decent complexity. Definitely one for the sherry lovers, but not quite as over the top as some of the younger and cask strength types.
