This is a master’s thesis in barrel finishing. The sherry is perfectly integrated with the bourbon and neither is more dominant than the other. Beautifully rounded and a gorgeous dram.
Nose: caramel, vanilla, mallow root, brown sugar, black tea, fig, raisins.
Palate: brown sugar, vanilla cream, blueberries, dark fruit, black tea, clove, barrel spice, leather, almonds.

I picked this up based upon the app saying it is similar to Nikka Coffey Grain. The app is correct, if you enjoy Nikka you'll dig this stuff. With the proof was expecting a more bozzy nose and mouth, it's not, super smooth, has nice profile. Glencairn glass

Appearance: Rich amber, thicker, clings nicely to glass.
Nose: Brown sugar, carmel, and vanilla. Sweet and fuller body
Palate: Brown sugar and a bit of molasses out front give way to caramel oak, and a bit of spice. Excellent mouth feel. Wonderful neat. Needs no water or ice.
Finish: Smooth with pleasant burn lingering on the tongue. The caramel and vanilla are true throughout and then gives way to brown sugar and spice.
Super dessert bourbon!
I hate using the term "smooth" becasue that typically means boring for me but this has enough complexity in the sweetness and easy sipping ability for a great evening.
