Tasting Notes

First Tasted at Meeting No. 41 in October 2015
 •  4.0

Rose petals glaze - like a sherry sugar donut. Light yellow tones. Captain Crunch berry scotch. Like a Macintosh bar - delicious!

 •  4.0

Can't escape a cherry-vanilla aroma on the nose, and that's just fine with me. Really light and accessible in terms of an alcohol burn. Hard for me to catch a sherry note off of this, but then again I am very pedestrian when it comes to sherries. This is a good one

 •  3.5

Smooth + woody. Very little Sherry distinction. Dry chocolate finish - very nice.

 •  3.5

Light aroma on the nose and flowery. Delicate in the palate and full of delicious rose flavor.

 •  3.5

Floral, grassy, sun baked raisins. Subtle and kind.

 •  3.5

Assertively spicy. Aggressive burn on the finish, but in a pleasant way. Great value and solid everyday selection.
