Very smooth Very drinkable Sweetness Fruit No doubt some older refined whiskey I enjoy notes of sherry in my scotch that seem to be missing and it is just too smooth too low proof for me personally except for a early in the day/ lunchtime drink. This would do well for me as a cask strength offering I would term this as whiskey "lite" maybe too well done, although certain this would appeal to the occasional whiskey drinker. I give it a 4 because it is flawless but cannot rate it higher because it is devoid of the complexities, the proof and lacking classic sherry notes that i enjoy
