West Cork 12 Year Sherry Cask Finish

Wow this is terrible. It is my first West Cork and it failed to be everything that it announced to contain: it says sherry finished, but it doesn't tastes like any sherry; it says 43%abv, it feels like 12%abv. It has a very golden color, no reddish sherried colour whatsoever. On the nose it is very fruity, but fails to be interesting. First sniff is full of acetone, to then reveal yellow apples, pineapple, cheap lemon air freshener, apple juice, NO SHERRY AT ALL. On the palate, it is lame. The first note i got was an old stored box, like old cardboard with straws inside. A very dim apple note, and water. Way too watery. Aftertaste is nothing. Ginger and water. A complete dissapointment. Overall this is a very forgettable dram. Nose helps it a little bit but not enough to even reach a 2.5 score. 48 over a 100, avoid it.

Pineapples.

Interesting pour. Aromas of chamomile tea, with a bit of roasted nuts. Light in color and sherry flavor...can’t really tell it’s sherry finished aside from the bit of roasted nuts on the aroma.

Light and fruity with a slight burn
