From a 3-bottle sampler pack - this one is much less intense than the Fruity and Rich option. Yet, it seems richer? It's baffling.
This is a rich, potent spirit with a sweet initial impact. The sherry character is very pronounced.
Quite similar to Glenmorangie Lasanta. Full-bodied and rather potent, it benefits from water. 91
My first sherry cask whisky, and it's truly enjoyable!
Strange, woody... strong... but I don't need it again.
