Anyone who thinks that first-fill sherry casks are basically a sign of quality can see true quality here. The cask selection is excellent and doesn't show the slightest hint of a sulphurous tendency. However, the result of the 21 years of maturation is of course also extremely powerful and combined with the strongest notes of wood. Not easy to drink, but all the more impressive for that.
