Minor plastic notes and then the marzipan, oloroso sweetness and some dark chocolate flood in.

House Review

Nose:
Light malted grain, hay and honey. Sherry and faint wine paired with delicious brine (I rhymed!)
Taste:
Brine, sherry and some mild drifting smoke. Minor plastic notes and then the marzipan, oloroso sweetness and some dark chocolate flood in. Faint meatiness and musty tobacco.
Finish:
Medium but gentle. Also doesn't drink like its character would suggest, but its still pretty high in the ABV department. There's a good deal of hay and sherry. Lots more funk here though.
Overall:
Once again, another insane value put forth by the Signatory gods (hail).
