Nose - Sweet bing cherries, blackberry cider, spiced apple cider, sweet dough after a while. Taste - Sweet fruity peppery spice/heat/tingle, lightly oaky cherry/berry cider, orange zest/pith bitter, light ginger. Finish - Lingering spicy tingle, cherry/blueberry/blackberry sweet, bitter ginger beer tingle. Score - 83/100 Final Thoughts - Not sure if I'm having an off day or because the weather has finally cooled off & it's actually sprinkling/drizzling today but this wasn't as good as I expected it would be. Had a nice fruity/sherry nose but it seemed a bit off balance on the palate. Had this almost metallic fruity note but not quite there, similar to hints of metal I occasionally get in super dense/syrupy dried fruits. Overall, a very decent sipper that seems to have things mostly balanced, but there's just this intangible I can't pinpoint. If I was looking to sip on something sherried without thinking too much, this would fit the bill. I think this might also work very well in a sweeter highball. I think the flavors are strong enough that they would get complemented very well by some soda water. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Not another
