Sherry, vanilla on the nose, I can get some malt, and something about it reminds me of creamed corn. Spicy smoke, with a vegetal flavor, a hint of radishes or turnips. Very sweet sherry notes, vanilla and raisins. The sherry and the smoke are pretty strong and wrestle for dominance. A tad too sherry sweet for my tastes, but it's an excellent whiskey. Very astringent.
