All I know is they age this using sherry casks, not just finishing it in them. So I’m expecting a decent amount of sherry in this.
The nose is sweet and fruity with candied orange, raisin/prune, rich malt, brown sugar and vanilla icing.
The palate is slightly oily and sweet with more candied orange and raisin/prune, it is fairly malty, and sweet vanillla. A spiciness appears after consecutive sips.
The finish is medium in length with lingering raisin spice cake, malt and tingling spiciness.
Fairly rich and tasty. You can really taste the sherry cask influence on this one. Tons of rich caramelized/cooked fruits.
