Nose
The Sherried heritage is apparent with stewed fruits and allspice, then comes Islay peat smoke and dark chocolate.
Palate
Wonderfully thick and moreish with damp Autumn leaves, spiced oak, a lathery sweetness and bonfire ash.
Finish
Lingers on and on with burnt brown sugar and mocha developing to cured meats and an earthy style.
