Would give it 3.5 stars if I could.
On the nose it presents as though it were aged in ex-bourbon barrels, or at the least American oak (despite it apparently being 100% sherry cask aged). First taste impressions reminded me of a Glenfiddich 15 or a Glenmorangie Original; smooth, almost to the point of being too balanced. Second taste the next day the bite popped more than I remembered, and much more than I would have expected for a 46%.
Would likely buy again, but wouldn't go out of my way to do it. For a sherry cask finish, I'm looking for something a little more fruity/Christmas Cake-y.
