Nose - Ripe apple & pear cider, raisins, prunes, apricot preserves, orange peel, orange & cherry hard candies Taste - Apple caramels, hint of peppery spice, raisins, orange & cherry life savers, hint of orange cream Finish - Buttery & warming, light bitter orange pith, raisins & vanilla cream Score - 87/100 Final Thoughts - Having tried two of the other Explorers Series previously, this one seems to be a bit boring? It's a good sherried expression, fairly standard sherried nose, good fruit notes, nothing really off putting, but it just comes off as fairly generic. There's nothing in here that makes this really memorable. It's got a pleasant nose, nice balance on the palate, but otherwise feels like any of the other unpeated sherried expression out there.
