Nose
Classic old-school sherry cask notes of brandied raisins, apricot jam, orange peel, salted nuts, pipe tobacco and dark chocolate along with some earthy notes. In the background is a lick of smoke. The orange peel expands as it sits. A couple of drops of water and the fruit becomes stickier—some fig jam in there too now.
Palate
Comes in as promised by the nose at first and then there's some polished oak. A very good drinking strength; rich texture. Brighter and saltier here as it goes and there's some savoury gunpowder as well. With more time it gets a little leathery as well. Water makes it drier and emphasizes the oak and nuts and leather.
Finish
Long. Gets first sweeter and then picks up some bitter notes (dark chocolate, coffee grounds). Saltier here too with time and the gunpowder lingers as well. As on the palate with water.
