Just poured a dram here, lovely golden colour in the glass. First nose is all honey and golden syrup, maybe a hint of that sunflower oil richness. Very rounded and gentle on the palate, not meek though, there's a nice backbone to it. I get that classic refill sherry profile - some marzipan, a touch of shoe polish, even something like Weetabix or gentle breads. It's light, has a pleasant, easy and pleasing character with a real lightness of touch. There's a bit of mineral oil in there too, and fabrics, which sounds odd but is nice. A drop of water really helps, enhances the texture no end. Brings out some aniseed and lemon cough drops. The finish is quite pleasant and robust for something so gentle. Reminds me a bit of youthful dessert wines. No complaints at all. A fine wee drop for a quiet evening. 🥃
