Nose - A wave of sherry , PX character can be recognized immediately. Caramel syrup, dark honey, cough syrup, dates, cane sugar, dark chocolate, cherry confiteor. A few signs of relatively young spirit, but it can also come from the high ABV. A bit later notes of Christmas cake and pomegranate juice. Almost nothing from the original newmake. Taste - Average density but at very high concentration of flavour. More sour notes than in the nose - orange jam, sour cherry, sweet and sour berries. Develops into dark chocolate, black tea, licorice. More syrupy sweetness and chocolate with water. Finish - A long and logical continuation of the sweet and sour taste. In addition to that there is a slight oak bitterness with tobacco, something similar to balsamic notes, that can be often found in the old cognacs. Water slightly softens and simplifies the aftertaste. Again another gem from the Infrequent Flyers range, I haven’t been let down by a single one, Alister Walker has clearly inherited something from his dad Billy. For the money if you want a sherry bomb this is an absolute banger.
