Comments: 

This is apparently a bourbon cask, but the whisky doesn't taste bourbony at all. In fact, it's rather sherried, with huge fruity notes of red wine and blackcurrant. The spirit apparently matured in virgin oak for a time, which I guess is how the 'sherried' character appeared. That, and time in warm Indian weather.

Verdict:

I like this.
