Tasting Notes
A gentle, sweet aroma with delicate hints of char and the faint glow of wood smoke made this an enticing offering. On the palate we found a spoonful of medlar jelly on buttered toast and a steaming mug of mulled wine made with orange and lemon juice, cloves, red wine, brandy and a gentle cinnamon spice. After dilution we baked muffins loaded with tart chunks of rhubarb and topped with raspberry-flavoured sugar, and then finished with a glass of blood orange martini cocktail. Following 11 years in an ex-bourbon barrel, we split the spirit into two 50-litre ex-sherry casks, one an oloroso and the other a PX. This is the first fill oloroso one.
