The familiar oaky vanilla aroma is still there, embellished with some sweet whisky notes. It doesn't say anywhere what whisky was originally in the casks, or if the casks contained anything before the whisky. The whisky element doesn't dominate the flavour and I'm still wondering if maybe the casks originally contained sherry, as the taste reminded of me a bit of sherry-cask aged whisky.

There's a faint spiciness there as well - ginger or maybe nutmeg - that adds pleasant tang to the lingering bourbon after-taste." Sounds like everything I dislike in a beer. “a very warm, malty brew with an almond nuttiness that blends with a toffee sweetness to create a hint of marzipan.
