Nose: Very mild at first, but after a few minutes it starts opening up. I find dried fruits, of course, mainly figs. Sugary sweet in character. Hints of bitter oranges and some alcohol.

Taste: Medium to slim body. Bitter oranges, toasted oak and dried fruits. Honey and caramel in the second wave. After a couple of sips I also pick up notes of coffee.

Finish: Medium to short finish. Cinnamon and licorice. Drying towards the end.

Comment: Mild on the sherry influence, but an easy dram.
