Nose: Opens with the aroma of maple syrup pancakes, giving way to rich black cherries, cloves, bread-and-butter pudding and treacle. Apple blossom and roast pork hints sneak in, too.
Palate: A warm, velvety and opulent mouthfeel with notes of Christmas cake, raisin, cinnamon stick and dried orange peel.
Finish: Long, rich and intense - the Christmas cake continues, with vanilla custard bringing a lighter sweetness in at the very end.
Overall: A triumphant Sherry bomb single malt.
