The strongest appeal is the link between the sherried fruit and the pastry-like palate: pain au raisin and pain au chocolat give the baking spices a familiar frame, rather than leaving them as an abstract spice note. The almond and vine-fruit nose sounds inviting, while milk chocolate and fizzy apple sweets make for a playful finish. There is plenty of sherried richness here, so it may suit someone after a sweeter, dessert-led single malt.
