Flavour Profile
Review
This is a very approachable whiskey that delivers a rich, sweet and fruity profile with a smooth balance of spice and wood. It reminded us just what a great example of sherried whiskey this really is. Smooth, balanced and hitting all the right notes, this whiskey was a pleasure to drink. However, it didn't deliver anything new or outstanding either, but does showcase a very solid dram that works well with a wide range of foods and occasions.
