Yup 1 day exactly in the 50 litre barrel. Apparently if you leave it more than 4 hours more it's overdone. Now that screams cheap crap to me but trying it (admittedly after 2 vineyard and 1 brewery tasting in Margaret River) I was impressed. You really get the cream sherry coming through and a nice base spirit to accompany it which goes to show not all good things take time. And yes I bought another bottle. Post this large session I woke up the next day and realised I had far to much alcohol to bring back through customs. 8 bottles of spirits 25 samples and 10 bottles of wine. We drank as much as wine as we could at the in-laws in Melbourne a week later and gave 2 bottles of spirits as presents, cancelled 1 bottle of duty free and still had to leave 1 bottle behind... next time I'll have to staple a note to my forehead... don't let me buy any more bottles I'm over limit! Update: Having opened the bottle in the cold light of day it smells and tastes more like what it is....a 1 day aged based spirit briefly dunked in a cream sherry barrel. The smell is a bit like baby sick (although not that bad) and the taste more one dimensional. Note to self if you are to drunk judgement is impaired! Update 2: After giving away samples I then gave away the whole bottle as I couldn't bare too drink it. Score revised!
