Almond butter and toasted orange peel, Jaffa biscuits, dried apricots, prunes, raisins and spicy wood. The finish in PX Sherry Casks is not intrusive, almost subtle.
Taste
Creamy start, slightly tingling on the tongue. Tart orange marmalade with pieces of the peel, almonds, walnuts, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, nougat and cold coffee. Apricot kernels, multivitamin tablet, gooseberry. dry wood.
Finish
Medium length, now very spicy, still slightly tingling. It has traded its initial creaminess for dry wood somewhere towards the end of the flavor.
