To let everyone know, right when I bought this bottle I popped the top and drank maybe 10 percent of the bottle.. It was very good but I tasted mostly darker notes (brown sugar, dark chocolate, dusty barrel) it was good but not a lot of sweetness or fruit notes whatsoever.
(17 days later) I popped the top and this bottle opened up like no bottle I have ever had. Very dark flavors of chocolate, dusty oak, and dark sugar.. But wait.. Now I taste an incredible dark cherry, an incredible floral note, and a sweetness that creates such a delicious whiskey, I was honestly blown away. This stuff is truly a lovely whiskey and my advice would be to allow it to open up for over two weeks because this one truly benefits like no other whiskey. 93/100 Cheers 🥃

I had a very similar experience with the 15 year.
@BDanner tell me what you think after some time.. It sweetened up and kept its richness. Delicious dram
I'm hoping this holds true for the bottle I opened. It was decent, but not in line with the first two releases. I was hoping I was just having a palate "off day" and it will be better on second try.
