Reaching the end of this bottle and it sounds like it has been taken out of the core range, too bad. Nose: Dried fruits, to me it is dried strawberries and cherry. I hint of that HP smoke, gentle and floral. Palate: The dried fruits continue to the palate with some vanilla and the gently heather smoke of HP. The sherry shows here but is not overpowering, for a NAS a nice blend of some old with new so the malt still makes an appearance. Nice balance. Finish: Medium. I’m happy this is higher than 40% ABV so you get a little bit of lingering finish, but nothing like a cask strength whiskey. Overall a 3.75 for me.
