A very highly regarded malt, matured principally in bourbon casks and then transferred to sherry for polishing, one of the first to use this process of 'finishing'. The whisky is a delightfully complex canvas of sweetness, spiciness, fruitiness with nuts, oranges, honey - and whatever takes your fancy. Ace.

[Blind tasting note from RJ during the SFWC:Sweet sherry-wood, fresh tropical fruit. Quite estery. Taste is perfumes, furniture wax and soda, sweet, fruity, very different and slightly sickly. An undesirable, nay 'orrible finish, completely unbalanced. Probably another stupid 'finish'. Score 6.5/10]
