Neat. Neck pour. Blast of oak and bread immediately subsided to the sherry influence. Bright, ripe raspberries and cherries. Profound sweetness. Layers of vanilla and sweet cream. Hint of chocolate. The goes back and forth from dark notes to bright notes. Trick and syrupy on the tongue. Brown sugars and maple hit the tongue first, starts very dark. Then those bright red fruits emerge followed by a hint of almond. After that the vanilla and oak. Vanilla and oak linger and dry the mouth, which then brings those red fruits back for another round as you salivate. Hint of chocolate emerging on subsequent sips. Fantastic pour. Many sherry influenced bourbons I have had stick to being light and bright. This one hits all the notes, dark, medium and bright. Every sniff and sip is a bit different. One of my favorite pours of 2019.
