Pedro Ximenez finish
Code: Lgv.4/500
Dist: 1996 Btl: 2012
Tasted: Nov 2013
The nose is sweet and treacly with crystallised orange and burnt coffee. Some lightly medicinal peat lurks under the weight of the sherry finish. With time the aromas become quite perfumed with some dusty violets and earthy peat emerging but the cask as they say is king!

The palate is full, treacly and a little flat. Where’s the peat? It’s well and truly buried under the weight of raisins, toffee and walnut sherry notes. Hints of crystallised orange, burnt wood, dusty violets and a touch of herbal/medicinal peat eventually come through on the finish but the cask is holding firm. The peat does becomes pleasantly dusty on the after-taste however.
