Tasting Notes
Nose, Palate, Finish
How this dram unfolds in the glass
Nose
Sherry-soaked raisin, cocoa, a hint of forest floor after rain.
Palate
Christmas cake in a glass — dried fruit, walnut, burnt orange peel.
Finish
Rich and drying, with lingering oloroso and old oak.
The Verdict
Would we buy it again at £52? Absolutely. Sherry cask flavour way above its price class.
Value for money9/10
Buy the BottleAlan's sherry-bomb of choice. 'If Christmas were a liquid, this is it — and I'll hear no arguments.'
