I’ve had this at my whisky club on two or three occasions and it never fails to impress with its wonderful Christmas notes of orange chocolate , ginger spice, dark fruits and leather. If this was in the $80 to $120 range it would be a killer whisky worthy of anyone’s collection. However, it has a few problems — problems that you just can’t ignore: it’s bottled at a miserly 40% ABV, and it’s fast approaching $300 where I live. For the average whisky fan it’s just ridiculously overpriced in the same way that Johnnie Walker Blue is overpriced.
