Definitely read the label as it makes no qualms about what this is. A lil sweeter than what I would consider ideal but as it states "sherry casks" on the label, this is to be expected and thus well executed. More fruity than spicy on both the nose and tongue and more watery than thick. A decent length finish that ends quickly and leaves you satisfied temporarily.....and then another sip is calling. A good warm weather whiskey.
