Tastes

Nice and smooth, but it is a lower proof. Was nice to get to try this but wouldn’t seek out for the price it goes for

Nice. Very smooth, especially considering the high proof. Very well balanced light sweetness

Very fruity when side by side with the 14 year port finish and the Lagavulin distillers edition. Good stuff

Feels more rich when side by side with the d’or Sauternes cask. Definitely getting the port. Really nice. Lagavulin distillers edition has so much more smokiness and is way more complex so leaning towards that in this tasting

Really nice light sweetness balances out the smokiness. Great scotch but really high price compared to the regular 16 year. Glad I got to try it though

Really smooth for the proof. Nice mouthfeel and the rye spice is just right and not overpowering. Side by side with the 6 year really makes it shine too.

Tasting side by side with the barrel strength rye and regular Michter’s makes me appreciate this so much more than the neck pour I had. I like how it’s body and flavor holds up to the high proof of the barrel strength and is worlds away from the harshness of regular. Sweeter and smoother than that rye. Excellent. Wouldn’t pay $149 again though….

Eureka barrel pick bottle. Get normal bourbon notes on the nose but my first sip was all cherry, like maraschino cherry. Really good, better than I remember from years ago.

Really smooth for the high proof. Stands right up with the pappy 15 year I’m trying next to it which was 3 times the price. Great pour

Very nice, high amount of oak. Not as sweet as I expected. Nice spice at the end
