On its own merits, and on quality-for-dollar, it probably deserves 4 stars. But I have to admit that this one doesn't appeal to my tastes personally--I've had an open bottle for a very long time, and I find the profile much too sweet. Light smoke, the classic sherried berries and baking apples and grapes, oodles of heather. But there are just so many sherried whiskies out there, and I wish this one dialled back the sweetness a bit or felt a bit more substantial.
