Interesting pour. Aromas of chamomile tea, with a bit of roasted nuts. Light in color and sherry flavor...can’t really tell it’s sherry finished aside from the bit of roasted nuts on the aroma.

@LeeEvolved yeah , I’d definitely not be a buyer of this. Would be good to sample other West Cork offerings, just not convinced enough to buy any based on this
I’ve had a couple of good West Cork bottles and they had a nice variety to sample at Whiskyfest last year. The Glengariff peated line, the Black Reserve and the Barrel Proof were solid. I wasn’t impressed with the standard 10yo, though.
@The_Rev I’m glad mine was only a sample. It wasn’t bad, just that it wasn’t good enough to Own a bottle, in my opinion.
I found the sherry influence pretty light here, too. I just got a bottle of the port finished West Cork 12, and it’s a significant step up in quality for me.
