First impression, this stuff is really expensive, is it worth the hype and the price? Hell yes! Distiller pretty much nailed the tasting notes. In the nose I got sweet brown sugar, butterscotch, char, and a ton of vanilla. On the palate it's rich, it's sweet and mother of god is there vanilla! You can taste a little bit of the barrel char and a it finishes there is a pleasant building rye spice that goes on and on. This is a phenomenal pour, great stuff!
