Among the first people in the us to try this from a drammers club tasting with @Richard-ModernDrinking and had this immediately after the 2018. This one edges out the 2018 with notes of Chocolate, Dates, Sultanas, Vanilla, Prunes, Espresso, Peat, Figs, Guava, Citrus, Pineapple, Toffee, and Banana. This was aged 5 years in bourbon casks and a further 2 years finished in PX casks.
