- Nose
- From the first sniff I was surrounded by chestnuts. With a deeper sniff I picked up some typical sherry characteristics, with lots of sweetened raisins and dried fruit. Alongside this I picked up Cointreau orange liqueur which soaked the sponge of a decadent trifle. With water I also got a whiff of pears and tree bark. There's also something a wee bit farmy here, with a faint smell of hay.
- Palate
- There's definitely a brandy quality to this one. Maybe a bit grappa like, too. Initially it was quite oily and packed a heavy peppery punch. Underneath the heat the orange from the nose carries over to an orange tart tatin served with oatcakes, the maltiness combining with fruits coated in sweet syrup.
- Finish
- It's a bit short and very nutty.
