Tasted neat in a glencairn. Rested for ten minutes after the pour. This is a rich polished walnut color. There is some sheeting noted on the swirl, but little by way of legs.
On the nose is sherry, ripe fruit, barrel wood, cinnamon, a tart note of blood orange, and a smidge of ginger. It's got a bit going on, but is slightly thin.
On the palette the sherry is very evident, sweetening the bourbon. It has a very creamy mouth feel, and there's healthy amounts of spice. The ginger and black pepper giving a nice warming finish.
This is a very tasty bottle. For $30 more, the Cask Select Sherry Finish is a full cut above. I'd opt to spend a few more dollars and go there for the best experience with this sherry finished whiskey. It's definitely the better "after dinner" quaff.
This is a solid pick in a finished bourbon. It's a fun drink, but not an everyday drink.
