As the expert state that sherry dominant whisky. You get all the sherry note + heat right in the front. Not sure why it taste more like 46% rather than 40%. The finish is weird for me somehow I can taste peat. If lagavulin 16 is 100 then this is like 1 or 2 on peat. I would recommend this to whom want to get an understand or try to distinguish what sherry profile is. Once you taste this you can pick up any sherry notes on whisky.
