The influence of Oloroso is immediately apparent on the nose — deep aromas of dried fruits, dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and polished oak rise from the glass, underscored by hints of orange peel and warming spice. Tamnavulin’s naturally smooth and fruity spirit provides the perfect canvas for this generous sherry character.
On the palate, layers of raisin, fig, and treacle unfold alongside cinnamon, clove, and roasted hazelnut. The rich sherry sweetness is balanced by a gentle oak dryness and subtle notes of espresso and dark toffee, creating depth without heaviness.
The finish is long and warming, with lingering dried fruit, nutty spice, and a refined oak structure that speaks to its 17 years of maturation.
