85 / 100
A complex encounter where the sherry influence provides a soft, fruit-forward introduction of orange and honey before yielding to a surprisingly industrial and earthy peat character. It is a sensory journey that balances the sweetness of the cask with a very distinct metallic and smoky backbone.
