Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: very honeyed, toasty American oak (this must be a finish), soft leather, dark fruits and chocolate shavings.

Palate: very fruity, leathery, creamy and spicy; while the sherry notes are quite dominant the American oak base is quite prominent; orange peel, Demerara sugars and hot spices (ginger and cinnamon).

Finish: long, coating, toasty and spicy, with fading creamy honey and vanilla.

Comment: heavily sherried, and youthful, but with layers and complexity.

Distiller's Tasting Note

Nose: Rich prunes and oak spices combine with a grating of nutmeg and a delicate liquorice note.

Palate: Soft treacle toffee and rich raisin juice infused with hints of cinnamon sugar and sweet floral oak spice.
