This bottling was drawn from two casks, one refill sherry butt filled in 1997 (#18) and one refill sherry hogshead filled in 1993 (#28), it was bottled in 2008 as one of 850 bottles.
Apperance: Yellow Gold
Nose: Pleasant and sherried aromas without the heftyness one would find in a first fill. Quite rubbery, a little medicinal and some seaweed. Strokes of the ocean in this one and some oil associated notes. The diluted dram lends lots of nice woody touches, some caramell, salted pork and the soothing lavender, which is almost like violet here. Some peardrops and apricots in there as well but the fragrant aroma is the star of the show.
Body: Light to medium
Palate: Nicely balanced sherry notes. Very warming, on the sweet side combining some fruity, wood! y, fragrant and winey notes. The finish is a little bitter but nice and long and really ties of this dram in a very nice way.
