Nose
Lots of grapes and cereals, the youthfulness of the malt and the concentrated influence of the Sherry, expanding into raspberries, wild strawberries, plums, pear, vanilla, lavender oil, drop of lime. The alcohol content is a slight tingling of the nostrils, just to liven up a freshness that is almost like a new make.
Palate
It raises its voice with a burning alcoholic note, dragging a spicy wave (pepper, ginger) of cooked apple, pears, berries, licorice root, bergamot, salted caramel, wood. Good oiliness, it's rather direct and sharp, presenting in length tobacco and an illusion of smoke.
Finish
Quite long, savoury, of ginger, pears, dried fruit, liquorice root, wood, puff of smoke.
