All Kingsbury whiskies are hand-selected by Katsuhiko along with Gordon Wright from Springbank.

Nose
There's a ton of sherry here, very much in line with other old sherry whiskies I've had that have shown off a lot of sherry. Dried fruit notes are also quite prominent with golden raisins, dried apricots, and dried peaches in abundance.
Palate
It is a little prickly at first but very flavorful and tasty. You do get sherry but it plays second fiddle to a very dominant milk chocolate note. Golden raisins appear again. Adding a bit of water, the prickle goes away as do the fruitier notes. What you're left with is a confectioners dream. The milk chocolate note from before sticks around in a very silky form. Some rich caramel comes to join in, the caramel also leaves a very silky feeling. There's a bit of malted milk puffs as well, my mind went to the world's most luxurious version of Whoppers or Maltesers.
Finish
While it isn't short, I'd probably describe it as medium-long in length, my notes say 'not long enough'. Loads of chocolate again along with some notes of rice krispies.
