A sample gifted from the "Whiskey Transfer Program" from dthom. I like this. It didn't blow me away but it's good and kind of unique. Nose: Heavy wood with flavors I often expect from a sherry aged scotch. A pronounced sweet vanilla flavor with dried fruits. A strong alcohol bite at first but after sitting in the glass a couple minutes this subsided. Flavor: Cherry and lots of it, wood, honey, and more dried fruits. A lot of nutty flavors like pistachio and walnut. Finish: Long finish with more wood flavors and caramel sweetness transitioning to a long minty trail off. I think I like the nose and initial flavors more than the finish but this is a solid whiskey just WAY overpriced. If this were $40-$50 I could see this being something I'd keep around.
