TASTING NOTES - AMAHAGAN EDITION N.5 SHERRY CASK FINISH

Nose

An ode to fruit, mainly orange and grapefruit, but also interleaved with apple and some more tropical hints. Butter biscuits with vanilla suggestions. Round and mellow, soft.

Palate

Very coherent with nose, centered on mellow citrus and apple notes, with strawberry jam, never unbalanced or acidic. Medium sweetness, brown sugar. ABV is very nicely chosen, perfect for an easy drink but also to enjoy the tastes.

Finish

Short-medium, clean and again based on orange, tangerine and red fruit, with a gentle dryness.

Amahagan Edition N.5 Sherry Cask Finish is a very well crafted product, with a refined texture mainly representing variations on fruit, yellow and red, with citrus inclinations. The nose is quite complete and high-quality, the palate adds some creaminess on top. The overall profile is very well-balanced and a very enjoyable experience, with a velvety texture.
