The nose starts with predominantly green apples and pears, with maltiness and caramel, some metallic notes in the beginning. Later vanilla, milk chocolate, pickled ginger, peach, pineapple and even hints of darker fruits show up. Palate for this dram is marked by a sweet and sour note and bitterness perhaps a bit like orange peel. Maltiness is always present, along with a creamy texture. It finishes with some bitterness and leather, confirming the presence of sherry casks. This is overall a solid dram for its value. A bit of water can deliver more fruity notes on the nose. Revisited and found that the nose is absolutely beautiful, hence bumped up to 4.0 from previous 3.75!
