Stranahan's Sherry Cask

I really wanted to like this whiskey. I’ve held off longer than usual to give a review because when I previously tasted this, it burned my esophagus and upset my stomach, every time. But, I just never gave up hope! This bottle has about 1/4 left. Uncertain how long open, perhaps about 1 year. It’s still pretty rough, not refined by any stretch of the imagination, but it does have a little charm. Nose: Dried and fresh red fruit, malt and caramel notes are strong, plus some nuts and a little ethanol. Palate: A little bite on entry, it’s viscous and a bit creamy with more fruit, malt and caramel, plus a little baking spices. Finish: Long, spicy and slightly bitter.

Different taste. Not terrible just not on my taste

Inital sherry cask flavor is nice, but very harsh finish, even on ice

I am not particularly into sherry casks, but i saw good reviews and it was on sale. That said, this isvery nice. Cherry, sweet but a slightly odd alchohol flavor on the tail end. However, so far, this and Penelope Rosé and my favorite wine finished whiskeys.
