Stranahan's Sherry Cask

Absolutely delicious. This is a unique experience and not an every day sipper or go to whiskey. Every time I pour a nip, the first sip always gets me. A little clearing of the throat is needed. This is a well done sherry finish, and it’s absolutely just me. It initially catches me a bit off kilter, as if I’m overly confident and what to expect. Then, wham... a little dry, flip-flop gets me right in the corners of my throat and then a little tickle let’s me know, I’ve been foolish...again. It’s like a renewal of experience every time. I always think I know what to expect however, my palate memory is always reset . The sherry cask finish is very pronounced here. But it doesn’t deter from the overall package you’re getting. This is a well crafted spirit and truly, an experience. Smooth, robust and very delightful. The sweetness only slightly lingers on the lips and just makes you want more. This is one of those selections you can whip out when you’re bored or you just need a total reset of everything you’ve been sampling or think you know. $69.99/750 ml and usually sold out for a reason.
