This is a high ABV, low cost bottle that surprised me with some complexity. Not in the way a £200 dram provides, but it has character and uniqueness. This was shared on an evening with another from the series and both were universally enjoyed.
I was struck by the leather / tobacco hint that arrived early. The classic sherry hit with its sweetness and fruitiness is seperate from the darker notes.
Even on the neck pour i agreed to buy more
This is beautiful! Decent sherry hit, lots of dark fruit, leaning towards ripe plum for me. Hit of mint too which I find more in heavily sherried bottles. Very decent abv. Let's face it, if it was bottled by the (m) distillery in this presentation it would cost £300/£350 minimum. Will be treating myself to anoulther shortly 😁 drop of water makes this just too moreish!
I found adding just that extra bit of water makes a huge difference at this strength. Lots of sherry! Simply wonderful.
