TASTING NOTE:
Nose:
Thin and somewhat insubstantial. Clearly very little sherry influence, just ex-bourbon (possibly refill). Very light lemon (lemonade), stale biscuit, blanched almonds, fresh banana, and pale honey. Malty, but insipid. Does not smell particularly “young” – I would make a wild guess of around 10 years by aroma.
Palate:
Syrupy body. Sweet up front, with only moderate tongue burn. A nutty dimension appears – cashews or Brazil nuts – along with a slight bitterness, like walnut skins. A reprise of all the notes from the aroma. Well-balanced but unexceptional. No off-notes or “too young” flavors.
Finish:
Short. Malty, with a hint of peanut butter. Fades without any additional complexity.
