Tastes

Just terrible. This was like the worst scotch you ever drank. Yuck.

Found this for $49 at Potomac, it's an effing steal at that price. Super smooth and more mellow than i usually go for, but walks a great middle line between sweet and salt. There's a touch of chocolate in there, the flavors are balanced all the way through, with an even mix of sweet and heat all the way thru. This is a definitely 2015 fave.

So smooth! Almost too smooth considering the price, ill keep my taketsuru 21 but really good. Second try I liked it more, something really subtle and composed going on in there. Do NOT add ice, this is a very delicate whiskey. I need a bottle to fully evaluate, each try has been so "special" that I feel the expectation is clouding the experience

Hot hot heat. I actually really liked this years version though not quite as much as 13. Just the hype and price keep me away, and either 01 or 03 bookers 2015 still wins (and is 60$ and no hassle)

Heat. This is a tough one. Buuuuurn. Lag 16 plz.

I think this is very special. The nose had a hefty dose of north atlantic but start to finish rhe taste was smoky smooooth

This is great, really traditional bourbon flavor. This ones hot all the way for me, very little sweetness on the back end, I get a big hit of cinnamon (but more like cinnamon gum than the actual spice) right after the swallow then a low and slow burn for quite awhile. This was a blind bottle purchase b/c it's so damn overpriced at bars (in NYC this is often a $20 pour. yeah, i'll stick to my Lag 16 at that price range thanks very much), no regrets here!

Too thin, not much doing here.

Not fantastic but there something piney that i like. Thin finish

Super smooth, something fresh and almost piney about the middle and finish combined with a dose of almost holiday-ish spice. Really nice sipper but not worth overpaying for.
