87 / 100
The Sherry Cask detail gives a useful frame. The notes are not just one soft, sweet line: spiced orange and praline sit beside deep spice, while black cherries, ginger and dark chocolate bring contrast. The long, balanced finish with a touch of oak sounds like a measured close. With the cask type named, there is a clear point of reference without needing to pin every flavour on it. That balance is the part that appeals to me.
