Comments: 

Cask 10143. This whisky was spicy and meaty, despite the huge wood influence. Plenty of fruit, especially strawberries, one the nose, and it followed straight through onto the tongue. I savoured it till the last drop. It was a magnificent example of sherry aging. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
