Solid overall and worth the $50-$60 price range but the many "flat" or "mild" reviews are accurate. The vanilla and stone fruit leads things off in a very subdued fashion. There's a peach cobbler feel, given the salty caramel richness. It's warm but not at all spicy. Faint honey and citrus. The peat is enough smoke to remind you but not overpowering, but also not enough for me. It's low proof so a very balanced and smooth sip; this is also what makes me think it's just "solid." I had the 18 on my list of future purchases and this leads me to believe it's worth the price for the added years.
