Outstanding. This is a sweet, beautifully balanced, festive, after dinner delight.
Nose: oranges, sherry, nutty malt, a hint of tar, candied fruit.
Palate: less honeyed than I expected, rich texture, spiced fruit, sherry, oranges, those hazelnut notes. Even neat you can hold this in the mouth for a good long while, a little burn but it warms you through. Stands up to a drop of water but I prefer it straight up and on the warm side of room temperature.
Finish: long, complex, satisfying.
This is a whisky you can sit and savour and be overpowered by. No need to think, just feel what's going on in your mouth.

I've been eyeing this for some time. I know it's a big sherry bomb but is it obvious sherry (real winey) or more the fruits of the sherry?
