Rich sherry, warmly spiced.
The baking spices alongside pain au raisin and pain au chocolat give this a pleasing sweet-and-spiced balance. The sherried richness sounds generous, while the milk chocolate finish keeps the sweeter side in view.

There is plenty of sherried richness here, so it may suit someone after a sweeter, dessert-led single malt.
At 40%, sherried richness meets raisin pastry and baking spice.
