Nose: sherry, oily, berries and cream? Buttered toast. Sweet vanilla. Palate: fuller bodied and more complex than the 12, which is to be expected at the hugher proof. There is a slight oaky bitterness here that lends a beautiful balance, has a hint of black pepper note too. Honey and fruity notes come through as well as baking spice. Finish: long, a little oily, oaky.
