What does Filey Bay Sherry Cask Reserve Batch 5 English Whisky, 70cl taste like?

Accepted Answer

The result is a fruity and layered whisky with dark brown sugar, marmalade, currants, walnuts, and warming spice notes throughout.

A sophisticated choice for those who appreciate the depth that different sherry cask profiles can bring to English whisky.
