Nose: like the nose, oak with a touch of vanilla, baking spices Palate: tastes much different than the nose and I’m not a huge fan. Definitely some funk there with spice. Too much oak. Finish: Thin. For the price, I would have expected a higher proof point Overall: Been a fan of MW for years and was excited to see this lineup. I like the bottle and label and I’m a fan of the cylinder it comes in). It displays nicely on my shelf. I like the regular offering a lot more from a taste profile perspective and the price is much better. To me, this is way too expensive for a below average pour. Age statement is 5 years and I believe I paid $100. Not good. Disappointed.
