Tasting Notes

Nose: Sherry, forest berries, raspberries in particular, spice, cloves, nutmeg, dark chocolate, bit of alcohol, not a drop of sulphur on this.

Palate: Sherry bomb extraordinaire, raspberries, espresso, strawberries dipped in chocolate, spice, bit of heat, but to be expected on a whisky sitting north of 66% abv.

Finish: Espresso, raspberries, sultanas, hint of tobacco, leather.
