Isle of Arran - Single Cask #414 Sherry 1997-2013 - Tasting Notes

Nose
Sweet dried fruits, pear, banana, apples, plums. Tropical fruit notes, vanilla, fudge, mocka and chocolate.

Its a rich fruit desert with ice cream and chocolate. Some Victoria sponge cake and a fresh mint tea on the side.

Palate
Honey, tropical fruits, chocolate, chili pepper, raisin, sweet, dried apricots, figs, and vanilla.

Some fudge and many many sweet fruit notes. The feeling of the nose continues on the palate, sweet and creamy.

Finish
Long finish, raisin, vanilla and dark chocolate. Maybe just a hint of some nuts in there at the end?
