This is one of the first drams I ever tasted and I’ve always had a bottle of it in the house.
Obvious sherry influence, toasted grain, sweet sherry fruit, a little nutty toffee. Some gentle spices, milk chocolate, orange zest.
All good flavours but it’s a wee bit dull all the same. The finish is a bit dull too and too short.
Objectively, it’s not a true great but you know what? I still like it. Easy to drink.
