๐ Tasting Notes
Classic Pedro Ximรฉnez and Oloroso sherry cask influence yields rich aromas of Christmas cake, raisins, and dark chocolate. Notes of toasted hazelnuts, orange peel, cinnamon, and polished oak create a warming, inviting bouquet that exemplifies Highland sherry maturation.
Medium to full-bodied with silky texture delivering waves of dark fruitsโplums, dates, and sultanasโalongside milk chocolate and toasted almonds. Warm baking spices including nutmeg and clove intermingle with creamy vanilla, toffee, and gentle oak tannins from the sherry casks.
Medium to long finish with persistent dried fruit sweetness, dark chocolate, warming spice, and subtle oak dryness that invites another sip.
๐ฅ How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2โ3 minutes before nosing โ 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.
