TASTING NOTE: Nose: groaning under the weight of sublime, faultless sherry and peppers. Taste: puckering enormity as the saltiness thumps home. Black Forest gateaux complete with cherries, and blended with cherry trifle. The spices have to be tasted to be believed. The sugars ranges from Demerara to light molasses. Finish: so, so long. Again the sugars are in perfect position to ramp up the sweetness, but the grape, vanilla and spices are the perfect foil. Overall: the ultimate sherry cask whisky. Faultless and truly astounding!
