OatmilkCloud7 OctThe Oloroso sherry finish is the clear anchor, alongside rich sherry, molasses and dark fruit. The matchbox-strike and sulphur note adds an earthy edge that may not suit every preference. This comes across as substantial and defined rather than soft or easygoing.
AmberSoda18 SeptRich and robust, though the sulphur edge may divide.
slowtrainkoi9 SeptThe darkest fruit gives this a point of interest, set against toffee, molasses and rich chocolate. The matchbox-strike sulphur note sounds quite assertive, so this seems more rugged than fruit-led, but the sweet, earthy finish keeps it from feeling one-note.
teacup_notebook19 AugThere’s a clear contrast here: rich sherry and malted biscuits lead into toffee, molasses and chocolate, while the matchbox-strike and sulphur hints add a sharper, more unusual edge. That tension makes the character more interesting than a straightforward sweet sherry style, though it may not suit everyone. The Oloroso sherry finish is stated, and the notes give a useful sense of how its sweetness meets earthy, spicy flavours on the long finish. A distinctive, fairly bold-sounding direction.
