Tasting Notes:

Rich brown tinted golden color.
Very rich and sweet nose of sherry influenced molasses, cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel.
The palate is much drier than the super-sweet nose would make you expect. Nice layers of flavor. Oak, nutty sherry, vanilla, and burnt sugar.
The finish is long with vanilla and nutty sherry notes being most prominent.
