Tasting note

Nose

Bay leaves, hint of sherry, but not excessively so. Italian spices with mild olive oil. Strange nose, but we actually find it surprising and we mean this positively. Also the alcohol does sting, but also gives structure to the aroma.

Taste

Full-bodied, spicy is the first thing mentioned. Strong cold tea with one small lump of sugar. Chestnut purée and butterscotch. Some forest notes of mushrooms and beechnuts fresh from the forest.

Finish

Mild and quite elegant looking at the aroma and flavour. All in all, a nice addition, because how often do you see an Aberfeldy aged in sherry casks?
