Nose
Intense, powerful sherry. Cream sherry, certainly – Pedro Ximenez? almost… a touch of peppermint? An almost rancio quality to this. Smells older than 15.
Palate
Raisins, more sherry, orange peel, walnuts, dates.
Finish
Incredibly long, complex, more of the walnuts again.
Overall
Water draws out sweetness. This is Christmas cake, not whisky. Simply astonishing.
