87 / 100
The contrast is appealing: tangy, bright sherry and gooseberry jam sit alongside good sweetness, while the spices keep the palate from reading as simply sweet. The winey, grapey hint on the nose adds another layer, and warm oak with a touch of white pepper gives the finish a measured, gently warming edge. This seems like a thoughtful sherry-led malt, with enough spice to keep its sweetness lively.
