This is really smooth with some smoky wood presence, plenty of sweetness, and apricots. It does remind me of Bushmill's 21, but the flavor is less deep and the finish is shorter. A bit of salt enhances the flavor, which is generally rich, but not to the extent that red fruit, spice, and deep smoke would cause. It tastes perhaps like Glenmorangie The Original meets Bushmill's 21. There is nothing wrong with this, but I wish there were more of it. I would never have guessed that this was aged in Sherry casks rather than Sauternes.
