Iwai Tradition Sherry Cask Finish, 40%

The waxy, resinous nose has deep, rich sherry notes from the PX cask, polished horse chestnut, leather, licorice, plum, cacao, clove, pepper, and dark toffee, with baked orange opening up with time. A stunningly smooth mouthfeel, overcoming a rather delicate beginning at first, with flavors of orange cake, date, and vanilla, adding toffee, Jaffa cakes, marmalade, walnut, and a twist of black pepper, then a finish of baked orange and wood spices (1,000 bottles).
