It's a fully-aged, straight bourbon and got rave reviews in Jim Murray's latest Whisky Bible.

There is mention made of scotch distillers having tried blending sherry with scotch to try and replicate sherry-finished Scotch whisky, which did not produce the anticipated result. The positive aspects of sherry-finishing have to do with the impact of the sherry-influenced wood, and not just the sherry itself. Seems the folks at Wild Turkey have now found out the same thing first hand. David G and John, may I refer you to the sherry article in this issue of Malt Advocate?

This is somewhat different from BT's other experimentals finished in wine casks since this new one is a dessert wine. If a raisin or dried fruit influence comes through without an overwhelming sweetness that sounds like a winner. I had forgotten about Tuthilltown's Four Grain. I tried to pick up a bottle while in New York a couple years back but wasn't able to. Maybe next time. Steve John,

It's aged 5 1/2 years and also bottled at barrel proof (61.2%) So, it's completely different.
