Background: From the St. Julian Wine Company. The base wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Vidal; after distillation the brandy was aged for two years in Hungarian oak, two years in neutral French oak, and two years in barrels previously used for St. Julian's Solera Cream Sherry. Bottle #87. 40% ABV.
Nose: Vanilla, cinnamon, almond, and nutmeg.
Taste: Solid oak background, some hazelnut presents, light flowery notes and a hint of rubber. Long, dry finish.
Overall: A solid second outing for the distiller(s) at St. Julian. Flavourful and smooth.
