Comments:
Matured in sherry and bourbon casks, hence 'double' cask matured. This is sweet and fruity, but has a grainy, cereally, slightly bitter overtones. This is nice whisky, and complex too. It would have been very good at a higher strength. 43% is a disservice. Even so, quite good stuff.
Verdict:
I like this.
