Dry, nutty, sherry notes, but the saltiness still comes through.
Palate
Much more voluptuous than the more familiar bourbon versions. Long, sustained, flavour development. Sherryish richness almost overpowers the distillery character.
Finish
Liquorice. rooty. Late, restrained, saltiness.
Comment
Quite heavily sherried, but the distillery character turns out to be surprisingly resilient.
