Wow. Had the chance to try this one on a live tasting and it's outstanding. Of course at this price point you'd expect it. The sweetness of the sherry finish is tempered by the long time in the barrel. It's more molasses than bright sugar sweetness and you'll get raisins and cherries. There's a bit of leather on the nose but that doesn't carry over into the palate negatively at all. The most impressive thing is the finish... It lasts for minutes. Cherries linger there with a tiny hint of nutmeg. After my tasting I decided to sell several bottles of bourbon to source this amazing cask

Caramel, sherry, and raisins on the nose. Sweet caramel upfront then oak with a bit of spice on the finish.
