I typically don't like Sherry whiskies that much because they go overboard with the sherry influence. But this one is special! This has enough Oak influence to get me onboard and less sherry influence on my palate to keep me interested. The finish is short and peppery but the sherry not overburdening my palate is a welcome respite. I have other Benriach whiskies in my collection and I appreciate the subtlety exhibited by the master distiller in designing this one.
