It's aged in bourbon casks, then finished in oloroso sherry casks followed by a final dusting in virgin Irish oak; there's no mention of time spent in any of the above, but it adds up to 25 long years. The sherry dominates here ? you can tell from the deep amber color alone ? and the nose has that oxidized, nutty, orange-oily note that is the inevitable, natural result of time in the sherry barrel. At times it pushes things a bit far: On the palate the whiskey could be mistaken for a heavily-sherried Scotch, quite malty and aggressive with notes of nougat and spice, turning slowly on the finish to reveal notes of dried figs and a reprise of that wet, winey sherry character...it's nothing if not unique. 92 proof.
