This is a hell of a good whiskey. One eight has done a great job with this one. You instantly smell the sherry and cognac finish on the nose with notes of grape skins, figgy pudding, cherry pie filling, cinnamon, leather and rich caramel. On the taste your tongue is wrapped in this oily blanket with flavors of orange zest, roasted cacao nibs, aniseed, golden raisins with a medium finish.
