Rating

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points (Mar 2012) The nose is amazingly complex delivering waves of sherry with dark chocolate, vanilla bean, orange zest, honey, baked orchard fruits, and allspice with hints of star anise and nougat. Wonderfully balanced on the palate with bold, rich Sherry and malt ton  Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 points (Mar 2011) Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2011 Finalist. Rich, assertive, gently sweet aromas impress; midpalate flavor profile of oloroso sherry, dates and black raisins; extra long, cocoa-like aftertaste; potent yet lovely.
