Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

it’s the antithesis of the Bruichladdich as far as sherry’s concerned. This one’s much leafier, more on grass, tea and walnuts, with some leather as well, a wee rooty side… So much less emphatic, but maybe more elegant. With water: a touch of varnish, then more earth and leather

restaurant Palate

superb! Fruitier and zestier, very grassy as well, with a buttery side, some sour apples and oranges, earl grey, notes of rosehip syrup, liquorice allsorts, more walnuts (both fresh and old), cranberries… Also notes of orange squash. It’s lovely and rather unusual. With water: not so sure, some tannins are brought out, as well as more sour apples, Gueuze beer…

timer Finish

quite long, on sour fruits. Cranberries, apples
