I made something that tastes suspiciously like sherry.

Messing around a while back and wife was wanting some port. I wanted a white port and a batch of FWK Sav. Blanc was nearing the end of it's bulk aging. On bottling day I pulled off a gallon into a jug. I added 1C 190 proof, 1/2 tsp pecan flavor, 1/2 tsp caramel flavor, and 1/4 tsp of bourbon flavor. Added some simple syrup for sweetness, let my wife decide on the sweetness and we undershot. Was fine when I bottled, but lost some during it's aging. Opened a bottle and it had gone to the dry side and really had a nice sherry flavor, sweeter and it might be a nice port. Anyway I had not used the charcoal in the kit, so the wine (and the 'sherry') are both a nice amber color. Think I'm going to pull 5 bottles off the shelf and try to recreate the batch, this time recording the syrup.
