    Appearance
    The colour of this well aged 35 year old reminiscent of cola or Olde English Oak, excellent beading.
     
    Nose
    A nose of scented oil, heavy but with a herbal, rosemary infused gravy fragrance with hints of balsamic vinegar. No obvious dryness from the sherry and not even the slightest hint of sulphur.
     
    Palate
    Wonderfully viscous and mouth-filling, sweet to taste, mouth-cooling.
     
    Finish
    Drying elegantly in the very long finish – like a dried out Christmas cake, with almonds.
