Finish:
long linger with nuts and caramel and hints of herb
Comment:
I heard this drum has a episode that former US president Reagan loved it then served it at his party because the word "westering home" on the label was used as a tribute to him. So I weighted this whiskey with colored glasses a bit. But thing is definitely different. The aroma is quite decent like the one sherry type not too much intense, but with great dried fruits following nuts, plum, caramel and vanilla. Finish is very linger , of course. Quite great one for me.
