[3] Double-matured, first in white oak barrels for at least eight years; then casks from the Sherry wine region (Spain). It is 82.6-proof (41.3% abv).

I was introduced to it after my bosses father left quite a lot in the office and said take what you want. He had plenty of it and said it’s all he drank.
