Nose - Sweet fruity caramel, red maraschino cherries, cinnamon, mint, malted milk Taste - Lightly drying, dried cherries & cranberries, caramel, cinnamon, milk chocolate Finish - Lingering cinnamon char & spice, caramel, light oak, dried cherries Score - 87/100 Final Thoughts - This was a nice touch on their standard release which I actually haven't had in a while since I still have a stock of their cask strength releases. This added a nice bright neon red maraschino cherry vibe in addition to a light charred cinnamon and raisin vibe. It was a nice addition to the standard caramel/cinnamon/vanilla notes you typically get, but a hint of bright red dried fruits.

Decadent aroma, light and sweet with wine notes on top of the vanilla and caramel. The flavors mostly hit on the tail, avalanche of tannin and sherry sweetness. One of those cool crescendo whiskies. Some oak and lighter spice. You don't often get this kind of power and flavor from something this age, its fantastic.

Dark fruit, oaky and young bourbon on the nose. Light body, hints of dark fruit on palate. Short, dry finish. The young , high-rye bourbon (5yrs) overpowered the sherry influence
