Overall
Score
8.0
Nose
Soft but chunky Oloroso with hints of black olives, cold tea, prunes, figs and cinder toffee. With time distinct aromas of spiced pipe tobacco and roasted Java coffee.
Palate
Dry and tannic but dark treacle balances. Hints of Java coffee, prune juice, raisin, herbal dried fruit, tobacco and burnt wood follow. The alcohol gives the palate piquancy.
Finish
Good length with lingering cold tea and burnt coffee grains. The combination of alcohol and tannins make it feel a tad austere.
Comment
So, no distillery character but a unique sherried dram.
