The rich sweetness of the Pedro Ximénez sherry evokes dried fruit, molasses, and dark caramel, accompanied by bittersweet chocolate, roasted nuts, and spicy oak.

Finish

The long, lingering finish is characterized by dark cocoa, dried fruit, and a gentle peppery spice. Smoky wood notes, espresso, and a subtle oak spice accompany the long, pleasantly warming finale.
