The Oloroso octave cask finish imparts a rich, fruity character, with notes of cinnamon sticks, red apples, and juicy sultanas on the nose. The palate is a delightful interplay of ripe orchard fruits, red grapes, and a hint of clove, complemented by a zesty orange note that develops mid-palate, balanced by a touch of vanilla cakey sweetness. The finish is a delightful combination of stewed plum and fresh orange, leaving a lingering, satisfying impression. This whisky is a true celebration of the depth and complexity that sherry cask maturation can bring, making it a must-try for anyone who appreciates the artistry of crafting exceptional sherried whiskies.
