No 10: Smögen ”Sherry Octaves”
Alcohol by volume: 59,2 %
Cask: Ex Sherry
No 10: Smögen ”Sherry Octaves”, released in the spring of 2017 as a 4 yo bottling at 53,6 % from no less than 18 small octave sized ex Sherry casks, downsized from really old bodega casks and literally dripping with Oloroso Sherry character. The small size of the casks and the immense Sherry character lent both advanced maturity and an intensity of flavour that was exhilarating. Malt, peat, Oloroso Sherry with nuts and orange rind, vanilla and soft toasted oak notes.
