Interesting combination of smoke and sherry
Nice taste
Clean - sherry finish
Very similar to Macallan 12 - sherry has impact

Very interesting, light smoke
A total surprise to me, and relatively complex. I remember enjoying, but I regret that I did not spend enough time to figure out it's uniqueness. I will seek this one out.
