Nose
Rich, Sherried, sweet, with notes of raspberries, almond, and a strong peaty character, along with light fruit, malt, and spice.
Palate
Firm and powerful, offering leather, oak, and big spices. It has a well-balanced attack with peat, smoke, and spices, alongside sweetness like bubblegum, wine gums, and apricots. The taste is smooth and crescendos into the finish.
Finish
Drying and tannic, long, spicy, and smooth, with interesting flavors.
