En single cask buteljerad för Sverige. En first fill oloroso sherry cask.
Etiketten säger 60,3%, men den är högst drickbar utan vatten. Underbart balanserad med tydliga sherrytoner men även maltigheten skiner igenom på ett trevligt sätt där lite sötma och ektonerna vill vara med. Ett bra fat utvalt av våra vänner på Berry Bros & Rudd.

Tastingnotes

Colour: pale amber. Nose: a drier and more earthy and mulchy profile of sherry, which makes sense. More on wet leaves, forest mulch, bitter chocolate and walnut oil. Some fruit scented pipe tobacco and notes of dried strawberry too. With water: goes further towards this earthier and more organic profile, with impressions of earthy dunnage and old potting sheds. Unlit cigars, dried sultanas and hints of sandalwood. Mouth: sweeter but still very rich, earthy, bready and nicely spicy. Just these additional background notes of fruit syrups and crystallised fruits as well, which adds a nice feeling of complexity. With water: veers more towards sweeter and fruitier notes now, along with walnut wine, clove, blackjack chews and liquorice. A rather superb syrupy texture as well. Finish: long, on liquorice, treacle, bitter dark coffee, cloves and brown bread with a meagrest scraping of Nutella! Comments: I generally prefer these ex-oloroso casks, but I find it hard to pick between them to be honest, I love the way this one veers about with water.
