General description

I suspect many people try the 16 after loving the Abunadh and be disappointed. 16 is not nearly as intense or sherry-bomb, leading with milder cherry, more of vanilla anf honey palate. 40% abv does not help in intensity compared to Abunadh's 60.8, which is more expensive. However, taken on its own, this is a smooth, malty 16 year old with bit of bourbon sweetness and bit of sherry undertone, certainly unique among 40-43% abv crowd.
