Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak

Appearance: Deep Mahogany, long slow legs.

Nose: Again, that lovely rich, juicy aroma you get when you open up a pack of wine gums and shove your nose in the pack. Thick PX sherry, and boozy trifle.  You can almost smell the sherry-soaked oak staves of the cask.  There’s also the anticipated caramel, with peanut brittle, chocolate raisins, and Garibaldi biscuits with the juicy currents crammed into them.

Palate: Oh yes, here we go!  A sip of this and sink into a soft comfy chair. Waves of concentrated spicy treacle flow over the tongue, along with thick PX sherry, toffee and an appearance of cigar tobacco. Theres an extra dark chocolate bitterness and a warming slow burning spicy element.

Finish: Long. The dark chocolate bitterness stays for an age and then gently gives way to a refined and sweet, oily mouth-coat. The gentle cigar-ash lingers and sits there.

Water adds: Spicy stewed fruits and as expected, more pronounced dryness.

Conclusion: Really lovely. It’s more laid back and mellow than other PX’s of a similar age, but is punching above its weight with a beautiful layered complexity.
