Open Date 2-17-2012 Tasting date 5-17-2021 This is my 3rd review and after 3 months being opened and @ 1/4 bottle left it has finally opened up to an acceptable taste profile for mu palate . But still I will say again...... Why would I buy this young newmake when I can buy Ardbeg 10 for the same price that blows this away by a large margin? I'm just hoping this lower quality product isn't in place to replace the 10 year old. That would be a tragedy against mankind! Buy again? = No way!
