#BlindDrams #ThreeDot n: Rich in colour and on the nose - more sherry here but leaning towards PX on this one, altogether darker.

#BlindDrams #TwoDot p: Super nutty (walnuts and hazelnuts) suggests Oloroso. A fair bit of spice in the finish, and maybe some candied orange peel too.

#BlindDrams #OneDot p: Initially quite soft on the palate, the texture builds in the development and then the ABV kicks in a bit. Light wood spice and drying in the finish.
