Nose: Freshly baked banana bread, sweet plantains, subtle hints of peaches and apricots jam. Warm butter. A tannin vibe that makes my nose wrinkle.

Palate: This was definitely a dry sherry, on the red wine spectrum. I would have guessed a rioja cask. Drying on the palate with strong tannins. A good lick of oak. Sour red plums.

Rating: 3 (Ryan) 5 (Shane) / 10 – “this is awful” come on Cadenheads, you can do better than this. Ryan didn’t want to swallow, but he is a good boy. He’s overreacting but I’ll admit, this is only alright.
