• Dunvilles 20 Year Olorosso Cask 46%

  Nose: Initial lighter fruit notes of red toffee apples, fresh pomegranate and honeydew melon give way to the warming influences of toasted almonds, and cinnamon iced Danish pastries.       Palate: The quality of the oloroso casks takes centre stage here, with soft dark fruits, prunes, dates and raisins, all soaked in dry sherry and stewed in rich viscous brown sugars. Then warm date and walnut cake, nutmeg and sweetened cinnamon.                                                                                                                                                                                                              Finish: Long and gently warming, malted fruit cake, poached plums with vanilla ice cream, soothing chocolate orange and mellow oak.                                                                             Overall: Balanced and complex, viscous, well structured and restrained. Lighter red fruits give way to darker stewed fruits, warming winter spices, and a long mellowing finish.
• Dunvilles PX  12yo 46%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Nose:  Layering of tropical and orchard fruits and light pepper spices encompassed in soft, powerful but controlled oak, and then a definite hint of Christmas cake that speaks of the quality of the PX sherry hogsheads.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Palate: Green apples, freshly cut green grass, banana cake, spiced vanilla custard and that wonderful Dunville’s candied orange grace note accompanying the dried fruits, raising, figs and sweet luxurious sherry.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Finish: Medium finish. Voluptuous, juicy and chewy. While the warmth and sweet sherry carry through, the final say is reserved for that wonderfully controlled oak, which reveals itself in the last lingering moments of the finish
• Dunvilles Sherry Cask  43.5%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Nose: Very gentle, floral, sweet and juicy. Orchard fruits intertwined with nutty caramel,nougat and powerful butterscotch overtones.                                                                                                Palate: The initial sweetness from the malt gives way to light citrus fruits, orange, lemon, green apples, pepper and clove. The wood spice and lovely oak tannins firm up this whiskey before the oloroso sherry casks take the final curtain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Finish: Orchard fruits and caramels give way as subtle notes of walnut, nougat, vanilla and dried fruits come through in the soft lingering finish.
