House Review
Nose:
Sweet heather, floral sweetness, light sherry notes along with fig, sulfur, sweet cream and nice malted grain notes.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. No heat. Sweet vanilla, buttery caramel, lightly floral, some sherry notes here with some stewed fruits. Not bonkers complex but enjoyable, with the faintest smoke notes.
Finish:
Short, no heat, but sweet and enjoyable. Some nice oak structure to provide tannins along with the sweetness, vanilla bean, raspberry and light toffee.
Overall:
Great as always, nice complexity and depth while delivering quality at a great price.
Score:
85
