4.5 stars - Superb; 750 ml bottle This is everything an 18 year old whisky should be. Originally I had JW 18 year ahead of this one, but with some time and air the GM pulls into the lead. Emotional picture: Ever wear a $100 sweater and go, “how the hell do they make this so much better than a $30 sweater? This is soooo worth the extra money.” Candied ginger, oranges, and old oak. This falls into the sip and contemplate realm. Give it plenty of time, enjoy it after warming up the palate, avoid distractions.
