Bunnahabhain 1997 Palo Cortado Cask Finis

Nose - Intense sweet spicy, lightly herbal caramel/toffee, syrupy raisins, dried persimmons, candied cranberries, saline, candy shell Taste - Sweet fruity heat, dried persimmons, sweet dark raisins, light sea salt, hint of an aged tea, sweet mesquite bbq sauce Finish - Lingering sweet bbq sauce tangy sweet, apple/cherry sweet, applewood/cherrywood smoke Score - 86/100 Final Thoughts - This one has a very unique nose for sure and definitely isn't like any other sherry finished Bunnahabhains I've have in the past. This isn't your typical stone fruit sweet, but more of a lightly medicinal/metallic smoky/tangy sweet. It's very unique and is surprisingly very well balanced. I think the fact that I get a few dried persimmon notes in this (I'm not a huge fan of persimmons) throws this off a bit for me. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Not another
