A few years ago, I took a bottle of Amador Sherry cask finished bourbon on a trip to Florida to share with friends. It took all of an hour to half empty the Bottle. When I saw this with the Spanish sherry stave finishing, I got a bottle to take to Florida again. Same thing happened again. In the strictest sense this is not bourbon as some sherry has become a flavoring. Funny thing though, you barely notice it. One year old bourbon has gone through a compression finishing process and creates a very drinkable product. The nose is rich with vanilla and caramel especially if you ice it. Taste is true with a hint of sherry but it could as easily be fruity traits of a high rye mash bill. This is a satisfying easy drinker with zero complexity. I like it and would guess it to be 4-5 year old high rye bourbon if tasted blind Cleveland bourbon uses a similar process but their stuff is sub par and the youth overwhelms, consequently I have shied away from rushed process bourbons. This one passes muster. The bourbon snob in me didn't want to like this one based on the process, but I did like it. The single dimension of flavor and palate puts it square on the average rating.
