The nose is all red fruit! Grilled strawberries, vanilla bean, red apples, smooth and creamy. The initial flavor is surprisingly smooth for 50% ABV. The nose is repeated on the tongue but with the addition of white pepper, chocolate covered cherry cordials, and a Connemara-like peat; not smoke but phenolic peat. The two are riding a tandem bicycle, the peat is pedaling in the back seat and the Sherry is pedaling and steering. The two are disjointed in that the two are distinct flavor a that go back and forth on the nose and tongue. Water softens the peat and sweetens the dram and brings with it oranges, of all things. Non-chill filtered, no coloring added, 50% ABV, 17 years old, picked up for $102. Welcome to the collection! 89 out of 100.
