Nose is vanilla, caramel, fruit, oak….the bourbon casks come through so clearly you could in a blind tasting think this this was a bourbon….I can even smell or am tricked into smelling a hint of rye and green apples…but its not a bourbon and the hint of sherry cask point to there is something else going on here…if you can get behind the big robust notes on offer that is. Taste is sweet and super smooth - dominated by caramel and toasted wood. Light spice on the finish stop this being almost like a liquor. The sherry casks bring some nice baked jammy fruits notes to the party but the virgin oak and bourbon casks do dominate the overall presentation. There is no rye to cut through the wood sugars and the spirit is too young to do much else except show off the casks used. On one hand this impressive stuff for a new company with a full and flavoursome nose and a super smooth delivery. On the other hand this is simply lacking in any complexity and falls too heavily on the sweet side of the street for me. In the end nice but simple stuff - lets see where this all leads to for this company. 3 stars or 86
