Better than Macallan? Many believe so, including quite a few of our whisky staff and customers. This sherry bomb of a whisky was matured exclusively in Sherry Seasoned casks, both American and European oak, and has been bottled at 46% after maturing in dunnage warehouses.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: dark chocolate shavings, fruity tobacco and Christmas cake; sticky toffee pudding in treacle sauce and cream; candied orange peels, Medjool dates and soft new leather; cedar shakes and toasted oak. 

Palate: sweet, fruity and savoury; a bold sherried single malt in the classic Christmas cake sense; maple syrup, fruit compote and more treacle sauce drizzled on sticky toffee pudding; with a side of fresh cream; silky with more dark chocolate, candied nuts and crisp spices; cinnamon, nutmeg and clove on honey baked ham; more candied orange, apricot jam and quince paste; rich, decadent, layered and smooth.

Finish: long coating, decadent, fruity and elegant; bold sherry with a smooth edge; dark chocolate, maple syrup, spices and loads of dark fruits: raisins, dates and figs.

Comment: a bold, old-school sherried single malt; classic Christmas cake, syrupy and decadent with crisp spices, leather, tobacco and dark chocolate.

Andrew's Tasting Note UK Bottling

Nose: dark chocolate, cracked walnuts, leather and tobacco; Christmas cake and sticky toffee pudding; soft fruits emerge with a little patience, apricots, orange peels, ripe banana and sultanas. 

Palate: silky, coating, rich and fruity it comes in waves; starting with maple syrup and treacle sauce, it morphs into dark fruits and dark chocolate, before the darker leather, tobacco and spice notes develop; more Christmas cake and sticky toffee pudding; earthy with floral vanilla and citrus oils.

Finish: long, coating and decadent with fading fruits, chocolate, spices and gentle earthy tones; late tobacco and leather.

Comment: balanced and elegant with loads of complexity; it is impressively delicate for how heavily sherried it is; this is old-school sherry cask style whisky, the way it used to be.

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: An aromatic array of apple pastry, spiced currants and orange zest, with exotic notes of pineapple and fennel.

Palate: A burst of juicy apricot and vibrant raspberry, with lemon tart and creamy almonds on the palate.

Finish: A rewardingly long journey through warming malt biscuit, cream sherry and vanilla.
