An unexpected gem from the costco liquor store. Strong sherry presence on both the nose and taste, along with vanilla, raisins, chocolate, apples, and other fruits on the nose. Taste is fruity with a strong sherry presence. Spice hits second. Oak hits third for a smoky, woody finish. Goes down a bit thin, not as smooth as, say, a glenlivet 18 (not that it's a great comparison, but I'm not that experienced either), but definitely more flavorful. Overall, definitely worth the price tag!
