Comment:

Nosing:
Complex, oaky, apples and pears, and a tempting dark toffee sweetness
Taste:
Dry and assertive, develops quickly to reveal a rich spiciness, combined with a hint of oak and sherried fruit
Finish:
Amazingly smooth for the strength; wonderfully warming and with a lingering smokiness, yet very rounded
Nosing:
Oak, apples and pears with a pleasant sweetness.
Taste:
Dry, malty, slightly oily and oak. Strong sherry influence.
Finish:
Long, dry and with many different flavors.
