Sherry Hogshead 1422 – 55.7%
My Tasting Notes:
Color: Amber
Nose: Big, dried figs ,cocoa, raisins, a whiff of vinegar
Palate: Quite herbal, nuts, caramel, cassis, figs, some chili
Finish: Long and spicy
Overall: Needs time and water to open up. Great nose, but the palate is too herbal for my taste, and even with quite a lot of water it is pretty “hot”.
Score: 74/100 – Price Tag $$$$$ – Value for your Money $$$$$
VN:F [1.8.4_1055]

My Tasting Notes
Nose: Quite spicy, malty and slightly fruity
Palate: Nuts, oranges and malt, wood spice
Finish: Medium long, malty
Overall: A somewhat unusual nutty taste combined with quite a lot of wood spice. Not bad, but lacks some complexity
