On the nose i get dark fruits and berries like plum, raisin, and blackberry. There is a slight hint if honey on the nose but hard to find. First sip is soft and full of dried fruit, honey, and a touch of sherry on the finish. Ice improves on what was already smooth. Fruit, toasked oats, and honey are all rounded out by the sherry finish. This is a great whiskey and should be on your shelf.
