Yamazaki Sherry Cask (2016 Edition)

I tried this alongside the ‘legendary’ 2013 which while good remains too tannic for me. This though has refinement and some complexity with roasted tea scented wood resin new brogues and then the fruity Yamazaki undertow. In time you’ll get perfumed incense-like sherried elements. It’s the finish where things take off into rose petal strawberry and Yamazaki’s pineapple signature. Water increases the tannin. Better than 2013 but still only for sherry bomb and tannin lovers.
