Maybe I’m in the minority but I really liked this bottle. Got it for $30 because a liquor store was going out of business. Figured what the heck and snagged it because for half the cost of wholesale I’m not losing either way.
So the Moscatel cask flavor really gives it something unique which you don’t taste until after it goes down and the aftertaste sticks around. I tried this with two other friends and they had the same reaction and they agreed that they really liked it also. The aftertaste had a wine/grape flavor that wasn’t like a cab or sherry finish but more grapish, if that’s a word.
So for $70+tax I don’t know if I’d splurge for it but if it was under $60-65 I think I’d say it’s well worth it since it has such a nice unique flavor that you find in any other rye whiskeys.
