Taking my time. Should be good, unless we stumble upon one of those whacky sherry casks. Bourbon or refill are always rather extraordinary, sherry's less consistent, in my humble opinion. Colour: full gold. Nose: bone-dry Madeira wine, a lot of leather, fig leaves, assorted musty notes, soot, then massive old walnuts (no politicians in particular) and litres of amontillado. The strength keeps it a little shier, perhaps, really curious about what will happen once water's been added. The jury's still out at the moment. With water: mud, hose saddle, compost, cowshed, then coffee and raw chocolate. Touch of sulphur, perhaps, but that's more than okay here. Mouth (neat): salted walnut wine, burnt tofu (in miso), more madeira, some heavier manzanilla pasada, some kind of dry rancio, bitter almonds… With water: rather extreme. I keep finding it rather remarkable that they wouldn't have started to make something completely different from cousins Springbank. Madeira, mustard, fino, walnuts, brine, burnt sugar and chocolate… Finish: long, bitter and salty soup. Comments: un-boring, pretty love-it-or-hate-it. Guess what…
