Color:  Golden

Nose:  Clean and balanced heather, herbs, sherry, toffee and a fragrant smoke.

Body:  Full body and mouth coating.

Palate:  Complexity of peaches, pears, pastry, with sherry developing slowly, rather tasting like dark fruit.

Finish:  Long and dry with oak and hints of spice.

ABV:  43%

Awards:  SFWSC 2009 Double Gold

SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRING

Chuao - Grignottine and Miel

The carmelized orange peel of the Grignottine mates well with the sherry flavor, while the Miel provides a crunchy texture and accentuates the pastry notes.

SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRING

Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970

Matching the complexity of the Antaño is the full bodied Glenfarclas 17 year old single malt. The light fruit and pastry flavors of the malt and the long spicy finish work well with the sweetness of the cigar.
