Nose: orange peel, dark fruit, brown sugar, Christmas cake, rich and deep. After a few sips, the sherry notes ebb and are taken over from the bourbon notes
Body: thinner than you’d expect but very pleasant, slightly spicy at the back, zesty, slightly dry
Palate: more bourbon than sherry, definitely orange zest, less sherry than you’d expect from the nose and slightly less rich, woody, floral and herbaceous hints, very surprising after the nose, menthol notes developing into the finish
Finish: medium finish, slightly woody and spicy, somewhat dry
Not what you’d expect and develops over time, funky
