The aroma was completely hidden without water, though the sherry influence was perceptible but seemed subdued by the alcohol level. After adding five drops of water, the distillery's characteristic profile emerged, featuring oily nuts, sweet berries, and dried fruits glazed with brown sugar. The taste includes honey, peaches, apricots, fine brown sugar, fruits, and a subtle sweetness with a hint of spice. It's a typical example from this distillery, with an oily, sweet sponge-like texture. However, I wouldn't spend that amount of money on a bottle.
