Darker hue as the name suggests, more golden brown than red, from aging in Sherry casks.
Rich nose of dried raisins, dates, caramel, slight brine.
On the palate, very luscious, sweet hint of Christmas pudding, smoky, resiny finish that's long. Spice notes more prevalent than smoke; this is a rich whisky for those who don't want the smoke to be too over-powering.
