Description
The whiskey was initially filled into a hogshead cask in 1998, where it matured for nearly two decades before being selected for bottling. During this time, the spirit absorbed the rich and complex flavors of Oloroso sherry, a fortified wine known for its intense sweetness and nutty character.
Nose:
The aroma is a captivating blend of dried fruits, spices, and a touch of oak. Raisins, figs, and dates dominate the nose, complemented by notes of cinnamon, clove, and a hint of vanilla. The Oloroso sherry influence is evident, adding a layer of sweetness and a subtle nutty undertone.
Palate:
The palate is a delightful journey of flavors. The initial sweetness of the dried fruits is followed by a wave of spices, including ginger, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper. The Oloroso sherry adds a layer of complexity, providing a balance of sweetness and dryness. The whiskey has a medium-bodied texture with a silky mouthfeel.
Finish:
The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruits and spices. The Oloroso sherry continues to provide a touch of sweetness, balancing the overall dryness of the finish. The oak adds a subtle tannic structure, contributing to the complexity of the flavor profile.
