I quite liked the nose, but I didn’t particularly like the palate. Too coarse, too sample, too uneven. Kind of a common problem for me with may of these young sherry bombs.

Nose

86 86

Hazelnut paste, toffee, pear, fig, malt, peach, apple skin, banana, sweet & sour sauce, jute, bitter lemon and a very light grassy touch. A virgin oak-like spiciness through the sherry.

Taste

85 85

Apple juice, toffee, blueberry, jute and again that virgin oak impression which takes the form of tree resin now.

Finish

85 85

Apple, peach, caramel and eventually a musty nuttiness.

What a great dram, only 5 years old and it is like it's sherry infused or mixed up with it. Tasted this one blind i thought it was nearly 15 or 20 years old. What a cask can do!
