Nose: Light sweet peat, Lemon zest, raspberry, honey, nutmeg,
Palate: Medium mouthfeel, lemon zest, sweet peat, tart raspberry and blueberry, honey. Campfire smoke and black pepper.
Finish: Medium length, tart berries, campfire smoke, sweet peat, pepper, lemon zest.
Rating: 7/10
The oloroso plays well with the peated spirit and adds some great fruitiness and tartness to the peat and slight smoke. This is a well chosen cask and one I wish I had an entire bottle of.
