Comments:

A mixture of 1993 bourbon casks (makes it 10 yo or older) and Fino sherry casks. This is great - lots more fruit in the nose, and there's a sweetish petrol note that's more interesting that the regular 10 yo bottling. Somehow the sherry casks have manifested themselves in cereally notes rather than fruit, but that's okay.

Verdict:

I like this a lot!
