Distilled 1990, bottled 2017-01-24. Matured in a sherry butt (cask #5119). 525 bottles. Dark as Jack & Coke.
Price in Norway is NOK 2474 (8113001).
Nose: Delicate and appealing. Dark berries, dried fruits, rich sherry.
Taste: Rich and full-bodied. Dark, dark. Spicy. Darker berries and drier fruits. Dates, figs and the essence of raisins.
Finish: Looong finish. Astringent at first, then it opens up and I am treated to a very long and pleasant landing. Fruity sweetness and light sherry notes.
