Tasting Notes

Colour

office coffee

air Nose

I would say a blend of old style Macallan with Glendronach, and that should tell you about the amount of sherry there’s inside this. Bags of walnuts, tobacco, crushed flints, miso soup and soy sauce, drops of pine tar liqueur, and a growing balsamic side. Black raisins as well. Fairly unquestionable. With water: fresh pipe tobacco galore! Plus Christmas cake (got to use that descriptor from time to time)

restaurant Palate

really very good, in my opinion. It’s sweeter this time, very molassy, and yet never sickly sweet, full of Armagnac, prunes, oloroso, walnut liqueur, and maple syrup. Really very good, I think. With water: a tad leafier. Add stewed apples

timer Finish

rather long, always sherry-dominated, elegantly so
