FUNKY OLD BODEGA - 1 Per Member!

From a 2nd fill sherry butt, this 7 year old is 66.2%.

Flavour profile:  Deep, rich & dried fruits.

Outturn:  602 bottles.

Panel's tasting note:  "Unashamedly lavish aromas of raisins and sultanas plunged into the oily opulence of walnuts, olives and Serrano ham whilst a background funk encapsulated strong black tea and the warm air of Jerez. A mouth-coating swirl on the palate engulfed us in a world of root beer and strawberry wine with heavy juniper berries, prunes and leather as a tingle arrived from wasabi peas.

Water revealed hidden secrets in a bodega as dark chocolate melted over Brazil nuts with brown sugar and  liquorice. A heightened complexity now drew us into soy sauce and balsamic glaze with truffle oil and brandy butter. Touches of salt remained on the tongue with a lasting warmth that suggested cognac, calvados and even dark navy rum."
