I want to like this more than I did. I got a sample from a friend, so my review comes without having invested any of my own money in the bottle. Smooth, a little oaky, not overly sweet, not rich. Definitely try if you can, but I would have been disappointed with paying north of $100 for this bottle. If it’s any helpful reference, Calumet, 8 year was underwhelming and overpriced in my opinion.
