Nose

Marmalade on toasted brown bread, Sherry soaked raisins and a hint of exotic spices.

Palate

Orange and raisin still at the fore, though now the spices have become rather festive - cinnamon and clove by the handful!

Finish

Lingering peppery oak.

Liquid dessert

The finishing in Oloroso has make it's mark on this whisky with some lovely rich dried fruits and a quality honey taste throughout the development and finish. A wonderful mouth-feel coating every part of the tongue. Great at cask strength with water softening things down and adding more sweetness. No bitterness at all on the finish. 9/10
