One rich sherried grain with notes of vanilla, bananas, coconuts, pineapples, plums, raisins, golden syrup, gingerbread, dates, molasses, strawberries, salted caramel, sticky toffee pudding, grapefruit, almonds, rosewater, and hazelnuts. In a blind tasting would guess this is a sherry cask finished bourbon given the bourbony flavor profile and a light touch of nuts and fruit.

Tasted blind, thought it was an 8 year bourbon upon initial guess. Rating likely weighed down by other pours I liked more during the blind tasting.
