A treat to finally find a pour of this at a reasonable price. Went in with mixed expectations, as I've always found green label to be 'good, but pedestrian', and then was overwhelmed by the quality of the full proof. Served neat, this has a mild nose...orangey on the edges, caramel-like sweetness, and a bit more spice/ethanol than expected, but in a good way. Flavor was truly outstanding - smoother than butter on the palate with vanilla, mild oakiness, nuts, hints of tropical fruit, splash of spice...but all of this comes through with an overarching softness. Incredibly easy drinking. Not a particularly long finish, but what is there is very enjoyable. An excellent whiskey - one that I'm definitely not going to run out and pay secondary prices for, but one that I will happily enjoy a pour of when available.
