Smell
The 15 year old malt shimmers with a dark amber color in the glass. Some tears move slowly, almost oily, down the rim of the glass. Full nose from the start. Nice combination of a not too strong, slightly ashy smoke with a typical sherry aroma - dark dried red fruits. After a few minutes, the fruit component in the nose changes to more sour aromas of red juicy apples and also a hint of caramel. Maybe it's the smoke, but behind the mix of sweet fruit and caramel you can now also feel some leather and tobacco.
Taste
Good start despite "only" 43% alcohol content. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. The smoke becomes oilier and together with the peat is much more present than in the nose. Also a very nice combination with the fruit aromas from the sherry maturation and the sweetness of the caramel. The apples from the smell are no longer active in the mouth. The oak shows itself with spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg.
Finish
Smoke is clearly noticeable in the mouth the whole time. The sweetness is now complemented by a pleasant bitterness of oak in the finish. Dark chocolate and light tobacco notes remain in the mouth for a long time together with the smoke.
