The color is quite dark, and from the start, the rich sherry aroma is prominent. The elements of recent European oak Sherry Butt are strong, making it complex and rich. When drinking, the main note is the concentrated sherry, but despite the high proof of 60%, the thick and sticky texture makes the attack not too strong, spreading gradually with a rich aroma. There are some nuances of fresh wood typical of recent releases, but no unpleasant elements like sulfury notes from the Sherry cask emerged. The body is thick, and the finish is long, rich, and a luxurious Yamazaki Sherry. #Yamazaki (YAMAZAKI)
