Description

Nose: light, elegant and leafy sherry, with some gingery notes, rolling tobacco, earths, mushroom powder and very nice gamey touches.
Palate: same feeling, the modest cask strength makes this rather deadly as it sort of cries out to be sipped from a tumbler with minimal overthinking. Again it's a clean and leafy style of sherry, with sultanas, tobacco notes, a little chocolate and some nicely gamey and rancio touches.
Finish: long, deeply tarry, salty, back on umami and savoury notes, game salami and smoked paprika.

That shift from sultanas and a little chocolate on the palate toward such savoury depth gives the whisky a playful turn rather than a tidy, sweet landing. There’s plenty here to keep an enthusiast curious.
