Notes from the importers… Dark amber to the eye the aroma is like youve stepped into an antique store. A slight earthiness, mahogany leather and a wisp of tobacco. There is a hint of furniture polish, in a good way, that announces the size of this whiskey at 60.9%. The palate reveals baked apples with butterscotch sauce and Christmas spices. The earthiness continues, reminiscent of fresh beets and the grain comes through with the flavour of cooked mash. The finish is long with the cacao and nutmeg you expect from an oloroso cask but it also has some date, raisin and red berry sweetness you would normally see from a Pedro Ximnez.
