I think it's a very complex whisky. I would be curious to see what a shorter sherry finish would do with the distillate. I think for many people this would be too violent, sticky. In the past I had the pleasure of tasting a bottling of Edradour 2010 12 years cask strength. The level and stickiness of sherry can be compared to this bottle. I definitely recommend it as a drink for colder times, it's hard to enjoy such a concentrated drink in the summer.

You have to let it air out, otherwise the nauseatingly honeyed Oloroso fruitiness will hit you in the head. After about ten minutes of rest, it is very pleasant. Blood orange, fig, date scents. Manuka honey, peach and malt scents. Very sweet, very round. I like. Tropical fruits cannot be discovered at all. The big question here is how long it was in sherry casks. They say finish. But what does finish mean? One month of first fill bourbon and three years of sherry finish? We don't know, but I think this spirit has aged more in sherry casks than in bourbon casks.

Let's taste it! Massive. Syrupy, sticky. Sherry monster. But that's exactly what I need now. Wow, good! It's very thick. Dried apricots and plums coated with milk chocolate. The malt flavor is also very good. Roasted coffee and oak. It is very difficult to discover anything from the bourbon barrel. Vanilla, pineapple and coconut are very much in the background. I think it's very much together.

The finish is long, sweet and sticky. The taste of sherry stays in our mouth for a very long time. Spicy, minty. The coffee leaves with a bitter taste. I feel that it is balanced because of the sweet and bitter coffee taste.
