The distillery is not listed, but it's rumored to be Lagavulin. From the aroma, a clear sherry nuance is felt, rich and meaty. The notes of sweet dried fruits and nuts are strong, with a slight toasted barley sensation. When drinking it has a slightly sulphuric nuance, but the rich fruity character from the aroma remains intact, offering a rich and satisfying flavor. There is peat, but compared to Lagavulin it feels quite mild and gentle, with less intensity. The sherry expression seems close to the sherry cask nuances used by distilleries in the Edrington Group. If blindfolded and asked to choose from an Islay distillery, the peat is slightly strong, but I would guess Bunahabhain. The answer is unknown, and preferences for sherry character may vary, but it was a rich and delicious malt.
