The color would make you think there isn’t much sherry influence but you can smell it right after the smoke, some apple there too. After some time, those fruits sweeten up, almost jam like. Has some meaty/BBQ quality as well. First sip was spicy, then the sherry fruits come in, then smoke/peat, then dry and a bit of ash. The finish is medium length. I can’t get over that this has picked up some beautiful sherry notes that don’t take away from the freshness and still let the smoke be on the forefront. A great whisky IMO, I’m a sucker for peat/smoke and sherry.
