There is a clear, interesting tension here: rich sherry, dried fruit and chocolate meet a dry, spicy finish with tannic oak. That gives the documented character more shape than sweetness alone. The 17-year-old single-cask bottling is listed at 60.1% ABV, but that figure by itself does not establish a cask-strength designation. The notes are detailed, though the combination sounds intense and firmly sherried rather than especially restrained.

Rich sherry and bitter chocolate give this a clear centre, while the sweet dried fruit keeps it from reading as all dark notes. The dry, woody finish adds a firmer edge.
