This whiskey is exactly what you want from an American Single Malt. It rounds out all the boxes from the aromatics to the nice chewy viscosity from the ever-changing complexity of flavor over sipping time. I have batches 2 and 5 and though they’re slightly different they both have all the qualities above. I’d rate this as an equal to my Lagavulin 16 yr. I can’t believe anyone would rate this under a 4. It’s a solid 4-5 in my book.
