Solera is in the name so you would immediately expect sherry cask solera sysyem flavour profile. And yes, even though the color is golden amberish you do get your sherry dry fruit notes. I also found a note that I never found in other wiskey "fresh cut cucumber" just zipping in and out on your nose. The base of all this is your sugary notes but unlike your bourbon candy sugar. On top of all this is this beautiful floral notes that embellish the wiskey. On the palate is your smooth flowing sherry notes with oak spicy notes that does not linger too long just there too tease your palate, and not much of bitterness as well. Overall it's a beautiful wiskey.
