The nose has smoked bacon, dried apricots, lemongrass, dememara, a whiff of bouillon, and fleeting cardamon. The oloroso cask influence here veers heavily on the older side with most of the fruit notes subdued in exchange for meaty contributions. In the palate, there's heather, fruitcake, wood polish, nutty barley, brine, lightly burnt toast, and blood oranges. Sherry spice comes in on the finish, along with some clove, tapioca, seaweed, pink peppercorn, golden syrup, and tangy citrus. It's rather dry overall and can get a bit busy, but each successive sip brings new flavors into the fold. Indeed, if I wrote a review of this once a day every day until the bottle was gone, I doubt I would ever have a few tasting notes shared across each review. It's that complex! Truly an exceptional dram.
