I'm not one for heavy sherry aging but it seems unfair to swear them off without trying a good smattering of examples. The nose is quite luxurious. Makes me feel like buying a smoking jacket. There's dried figs, leather shoes, sultanas, almonds, and dried currants. The palate leans a little too heavy on the sherry but there is some dark malt and serious spice amongst all that fruit. The heat from the alcohol clouds the finish so all that gets through is the persistent fruit. I'd rather just buy a bottle of sherry than buy whisky that tastes like it. Though I wager dabbing this behind my ears would make me seem a little more dashing.
