Batch 47. Wine like aromas lead, hints of vanilla, old sawn oak, (I've done some woodworking, and this whisky very much reminds me), a bit nutty. The sherry notes lead on the palate, along with the oakiness, some dried fruits. Muted honey/vanilla notes show up after a bit. The finish dropped off sharply at first, but then raisins showed up, and lingered for a nice, moderate finish. At 60.7 ABV, I expected it to be really hot, but other than a little stinging on the tongue at first, the burn was almost non-existent. It didn't burn going down either. Your experience may be different, but if you like sherried whiskies, put this one on your radar!
