Nose is pretty tropical. I get banana, papaya, and tropical flowers. Reminds me a lot of Kavalan, actually. I guess I had a pretty different experience from other people. Initial mouthfeel is heavy and thick with classic sherry cask overtones. Quickly moves to a smoky meaty brine slightly reminiscent of an Ardbeg. Finishes with cooked fruits and what I taste as Luxardo cherries. I'm really quite impressed by this NAS offering from Nikka.
