My Tasting Notes
Colour: Copper
Nose Smoked ham, raisins, prunes, a mix of exotic spices, a well-polished old oak cupboard, a sea breeze and a faint hints of balsamic vinegar.
Palate: Mild peat, prunes and raisins again, but also savoury, almost meaty notes that are difficult to describe, the balsamic vinegar is present as well as well as wood tannins and a minimal herbal touch.
Finish: Very long with dry, fruity and slightly spicy smoke.
Overall: An incredibly rich peated sherry monster, the savoury quality is stunning. There is much more going on in it than my puny tasting notes can describe.
Rating: 92/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$

Hi Oliver,
So glad you liked it. Must point out that this was a 2011 bottling rather than 2001
Oops, that’s of course just a typo. Thanks for pointing out, already corrected…
