Roe & Co's 14-year-old Single Grain expression, inspired by the age-old biological cask maturation of fortified wines from the Jerez region in Spain. Finished in Amontillado & Fino sherry wine casks.
Amontillado casks follow a dual aging process, biologically and oxidatively; while the Fino casks solely follow a biological aging process. The Veil de Flor, or Flor, is a thin layer of naturally occurring yeast that forms on top of these biologically and oxidatively aged wines while they are resting in the cask.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Lemon and orange zest, marzipan, dried apricot, sliced green apple, coconut, and charred oak
Palate: Apricot jam, more lemon and orange zest, almonds and fresh cream
Finish: Warm and long, with notes of toffee and a touch of ground ginger
