Comments: 

Finished in a combination of sherry refill casks and virgin casks. I think this is really good whisky, over the years, I've concluded that I tend to find Kavalan overly sweet and sherried, and a lighter, less intense finish showcases the spirit a bit better. This expression is sweet, but has interesting complex notes of fruit, and slightly bitter notes of tea and chocolate. Very nice.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
