Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich, sunlit amber with copper-bronze sheen and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Coastal peat and sea air weave with a rich Palo Cortado sherry aroma: almond and walnut freshness, orange zest, and golden raisin mingle with toffee and dark chocolate. Subtle vanilla from bourbon maturation lingers, while a light maritime spice adds depth, delivering nutty warmth and refined oxidative sweetness.
Palate
Velvety and opulent on the palate, this Lagg carries a warming peat kiss with Palo Cortado sherry depth. Rich dried fruit—fig and raisin—unfold with roasted almond, toffee and orange zest. Nutmeg and clove spice weave through a full, silky body, with a subtle leather accord. The sherry sweetness lingers, complemented by a gentle smoke and chocolatey undertones in a long, refined finish.
Finish
Long, warming finish where peat settles into the nutty, oxidative sweetness of Palo Cortado sherry—figs and raisins, toasted almond, cocoa, and a whisper of vanilla, finished with a saline, smoky depth that lingers.
