Been wanting to try this forever.
Nose - funky fruity chewy chocolate, brandy oaked raisen, dusty leather, vanilla chews, yellow sour fruit, dusty oak, sandal wood, slight vegital stew note, and light caramel drizzle with a hint of sea salt. Almost an extra fruity and malt forward older bourbon in a way.
Taste - While sherry was unmistakable on the nose, it was not nearly the sherry bomb I get on the pallet. The rich fruit malt however is what makes this special. It's this full body and rich fruit orchard fruit forward and sour fruit. Then oak and sherry bring it right back into a perfect balance.
A rich powerful and exceptional pour for 46%.
I'll give this 3.75. It's a sample review. Subject to some change. Could go 4 star could go 3.5.
A lovely whisky that has me regretting never picking one up when they were available for reasonable prices.
