Probably the best value for a 12 year old single malt with a mild Spanish sherry cask finish. It has a great soft mouthfeel, almost an oiliness. Combining the ex-bourbon and sherry casks supplies wood, sweetness, vanilla, and sherry. There are hints of ripe fruit, a strong malt presence and a hint of nuttiness. I don't pickup on the smoke that Ctrexman notes, but I have already said more than once elsewhere that I think his palate is more discerning than mine. (I admit it, I am jealous of that. And, also, of my wife's---she can eat a wonderful dish in a restaurant, and then duplicate it at home the following week I digress.) Overall, this is a very solid, affordable, sherry finish Scotch.
