Mars The Lucky Cat Choco, Sherry, Bourbon, American White Oak & Port Wine Cask, 2021, 40%

Toasted grains give this some welcome malt character, while cocoa, dark chocolate and oak push it firmly toward sweetness. Sherry fruit and tannic undertones offer a little counterweight, though the notes still make the sweeter side sound dominant.
