👅 Palate
Lush and supple with bright fruits like melon, lemon, and banana, alongside vanilla, dry sherry sweetness, and cinnamon spice. A tingling alcohol bite adds peppery oak contrast, creating a balanced, rounded mouthfeel that's surprisingly spicy yet smooth for 40% ABV.
✨ Finish
Smooth and lasting with dry Oloroso sherry, bitter oak, pepper, and a touch of cinnamon; sweetness lingers amid mild bitterness for a short but tasty close.
