Then there are experiments in wine barrel aging of scotch. Best to stay away, sort of the equivalent of a Whisky MaiTai to my tastebuds.
A Tokay casked one though?!? That might be sickening. If you finished it, you are my drinking hero.
Oh well I'm always out for new adventure - and the Japanese single malt was rather much sweeter than the tokay cask one. Incidentally, if the sweetness I'm referring to comes from the casks alone, they must purposely be leaving a fair bit of sherry in them- or as I said I'm just getting more sensitive.
