375ml in a three-bottle special cask finish series box. Batch no. 18-07, bottle no. 1903. Actually a great deal at $99.99, as buying the three bottles in 750ml totals $225. Tasted all three in a row, Cognac-Madeira-Sherry.
Neat in Glencairn at home. Nose is prominently sherry, sweet with some caramel and vanilla notes coming in. Hint of apples. Really nice. Taste has oak and vanilla cutting straight through the sherry presence, with stone fruit and grape must lingering, then mild spice lasting through the finish. Of the three in the cask finish series box, this has the nicest nose for sure, though the drop-off in the taste therefore is very noticeable. I think, overall, I like the Madeira the most overall. 1/30/20.
