Tasting notes:

Nose: Obvious lots of sherry tones and dark forest fruits like blackberries and blackcurrants in the nose. Than it lingers you to the back ground with some nice plum fruit tones. The nose evolves into a somewhat more licorice and laurel spiciness….but not to overwhelming. 22/25

Mouth: Again a full flavored body with lots of sherry tones like mentioned before; blackberries and blackcurrants. It does have some creaminess in the mouthfeel and again the licorice and laurel spices are certainly present. This is very well balanced for sure and its lovely. In the background it turns into a walnut maybe even almond like taste with a subtle little woodiness. Just enough and certainly not too much. 22/25

Finish: A dry and long finish that lingers into a herbal spiciness. 22/25

Balance: Very well balanced. The nose and mouth are almost identical, which is a very big plus! As for the complexity: The background tones are the most complex tones in this dram. 22/25

Comments: Overall a very good dram indeed, that is in my honest opinion a
genuine value for your money dram.
