This one was just a tad fruity for my taste. But take that with a grain of salt, I generally don't enjoy sherry, port or really any wine cask finishes. The nose packs a punch of bright, red fruits. Raspberries, cherries and the like. That smell then carries into the realm of vanilla with just a dash of honey roasted nuts. But the fruit is by far the dominant trait on the nose. Tart berries open up the taste but soon give way to some wood spice with a bit of astringent wood char. I may have caught a wisp of citrus, which adds to the tart quality. The tartness from the citrus / berries carries to the finish but with it some interesting cedar wood at the end. It has a medium length, fairly full bodied finish. This one just hits middle of the road for me. You could do better but, you could do much worse, too. Try a dram if you're into fruit forward whiskies.
