This is a fantastic example of what a NAS should be, but is it REALLY a NAS?? Now the caveat here is that it’s a blend of 67 - one refill sherry hogshead, 76 - oloroso sherry butt, 84 - refill sherry hogshead, 90 - first fill bourbon barrels, and 05 - first fill bourbon barrels. The nose is extremely complex with cherry cordial, both light and dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, Rice Krispie treats, it’s all in there. The palate is just as complex with butterscotch, toffee, dark chocolate, black cherries, peach cobbler, and cream. The finish is medium length, bright, with hints of tobacco and basil. I am not sure how rare this is, but I put it on the same pedestal as the Bruichladdich Black Arts 4 1990. It was a dusty box on the top shelf of a local store. A theme for this dram is “Close to the Edge” by Yes. Long, elaborate, and well worth the experience.
