Very soft and sweet nose. Powdered sugar and French toast galore, with a lovely savory, earthy, mushroomy undertone from the oloroso.
Those earthy, mushroomy notes from the nose bubble to the surface on the palate, joined by dried fruit undertones, cotton candy and powdered sugar, forming a satisfying, distinctive palate.
Tobacco, bright cherry candies and sponge cake.
This is lovely stuff. I adore the profile of the sherry casks Jacob's Pardon sourced for this finishing. The sherry controls the profile, but the light whiskey adds some welcome subtle sweetness, and it's really working for me.
