The Sexton Single Malt

Find me a $25 whiskey with this rich of color, palate and sherry finish. The nose isn’t the prettiest, there is a metallic note that messes with the sherry, cocoa and caramel apple aromas. The palate, especially the tail end, is where this beauty really shines. Sherry nuttiness, toffee, dried fruit, and a malt chocolate milkshake sweetness. The finish holds on, despite not being very heavy or oily. Is this going to compete with $60+ sherry cask scotch? No. But, it does punch far above its price point. $25 well spent.

Very sweet on the nose with burnt vanilla. Very smooth on the tongue with low heat.
