This was an underwhelming dram. If I was poured this blind I would say it was a young whisky. Not a huge amount of oak, not a great amount of sherry and very spirity. At a guess I would say it was a second or third fill cask. Once you add enough water to get over the spirit you get the sherry notes and a hint of tarragon. Personally I prefer the Aberlour A'Bunadh at 1/5th of the price. Nice box though even though the certificate inside was squint ;-)
