I’ve had this as a double wood as well. The finish in sherry casks gives it a bold essence yet mellow honey sense that stays with you

Thin sample

The 3.80 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
