Maybe this is because I just opened up the sample and it needs to oxidize for a month or two in there, but this is virtually indistinguishable from the standard 18 unchill filtered, except it’s more mouth coating due to the higher abv. If I have the same impression when I taste this again in a month, this is definitely not worth it. Why would i ever buy this bottle for the price of 3-5 bottles of the 18 yr?
