Probably a 3.5 rather than a 3 here. It's a sherry bomb, for sure - LOADS of dried raisins and fig on the nose, with a big hit of banana (and sweet...almost like banana cake or banana bread), some vanilla, and a pinch of baking spice. The mouth seems a little thin at first, but then BAM - in comes an intensely rich flavor profile full of banana cake, sherry raisin, vanilla, and milk chocolate. The finish is a bit short, with a light hint of chocolate and banana hanging on. Is this the best whiskey around? Nope. Is it pretty tasty and priced well? You betcha.
