🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Rich sherry influence dominates with intense aromas of Christmas cake, raisins, and candied orange peel. Underlying maritime character adds salted caramel, toasted nuts, and a subtle coastal minerality.
Full and warming with pronounced sherry sweetness delivering waves of sultana, fig, and walnut. Coastal salinity balances the richness, accompanied by baking spices, dark chocolate, and a touch of leather.
Long and satisfying with persistent sherry notes, nutty complexity, and a gentle saline warmth that slowly fades.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
