Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it must have been American oak – as 95% of the sherry casks are anyway – since I’m finding a little bready vanilla and this feeling of fresh sawdust and broken branches. But all the rest is purely Caol Ila, with smoked oysters, fresh seaweed, light ashes, and just a few drops of olive brine. With water: smoked almonds

restaurant Palate

yeah good, with zesty fruits (grapefruits), ashes and smoke, hints of blueberries… With water: loses steam a bit, and that’s the sherry seasoning

timer Finish

medium, good, slightly buttery/raisiny/sour
