Nothing amazing. But, I'm rarely amazed by Sherried Highlands, especially those missing peat dried grain. I do find myself sipping the 15 every now and then from my bar and always enjoy it. This definitely noses Sherry with fruit tangs and some light wood. The first taste is light on sweetness and more richness than fruit. The Sherry kicks in and clears out the richness really quickly but the remaining bitter wood, apple, and nuts gives it a welcomed richness. The finish is quick but reminds you there's Sherry. I guess what I like most about this is that it is smooth and clean and not blowing my mouth up with fake/manufactured/forced Sherry. But I also don't find much going on to keep my interest. With all that said, not worth the $109 I paid, especially with the better choices in that range. For the money, the 15 is much better.
