Intro:
Distilled by an undisclosed producer in Scotland, this release is bottled by Alexander Murray for Costco - a la Kirkland Signature. It's aged for 24 years with a sherry finish of undisclosed duration and comes in at the sub-$100 price tag. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Rich sherry character; ginger, orange peel, a big dollop of honey, big stewed fruits, cocoa and blackberry.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel. Toffee, honey, blackberry and big fig and stewed fruits note. Light sulfur, spicy on the back palate. All the hallmarks of a great sherry bomb.
-
Finish:
Long finish. Spicy at first: ginger, pepper, a touch of oak. Then, the sweets and jam character sets in. Blueberry jam, blackberry preserve, toffee and caramel. Big fig, orange marmalade.
-
Overall:
This is the Jam! Literally, and figuratively. After the 20yr, the 22yr, the 23rd and the 24yr, this is the clear winner. It's developed nicely, and carries a ton of weight and sherry character.
