Didn't love this the first time I tried it. I was getting a peaty note that didn't do it for me. Glad I gave it a second chance. This could be my fave nose ever. The sherry cask finish is obvious. There is still a peaty note on the palate, but I'm learning to appreciate it. Feels like an extremely complete whiskey. Closer to a dry Japanese whiskey than a smokey, peaty Scotch. Finish is everything you'd think it would be. A little spicy neat, but I love it.
