One of the core four labels in Compass Boxs new lineup, along with Orchard House, Nectarosity, and The Peat Monster. Oloroso sherry casks play the starring role here, with two-thirds of the blend being oloroso-finished, creating deep color, sweetness, and a smooth texture. But its more subtle than just a sherry bomb, as theres a lot going on: cinnamon spice and marzipan sweetness, creamy texture, layered flavors, and a long finish offering crme brle, baked red berries, brandy flambed apricot, and more.
