@Slainte-Mhath there's a lot of "stuff" in general in that new one. Has me very skeptical.

@dhsilv2 I have a clear preference for the 2014 Flaming Heart as well, although the 2018 is still very decent. I am a bit uncertain about the 2022 release, there is quite a lot of Talisker in the mix.

@dhsilv2 - yes, I see your taste buds are still in recovery. Never give up hope. 🙂

@Slainte-Mhath - yes, based on my recollection, I would agree; however, I might need to open my reserve to confirm this . 🙂

@PBMichiganWolverine - think I paid about $110 for mine, so the price has creeped up a little. I think they have a variety pack for about $30 that includes one. That may be a better buy just to have a try if you can find one.

@pkingmartin - yes, I think I’ll be grabbing the 2022 release as well.

@dhsilv2 I’m a huge fan of the Islay -Sherry combo —-but I so don’t need another bottle

@PBMichiganWolverine its' insanely disapointing if you'd had earlier bottles. It's also clearly much younger. That said if the sherry here works for you, I think you'll like it. For some reason it missed the market for me. Oh and no name 3, I'll take 100 bottles before I buy this again :)

@islay_emissary Great review. I assume you have a slight preference for No Name? Both are great releases, no doubt.

@islay_emissary @pkingmartin @Slainte-Mhath haven’t had this one, but it’s unusual that it has a sherry component. There’s still some left here on the shelf for about $120-130

Fantastic review! I had bought one of these then went home, tried it and rushed back to the store to pick up two more. Sadly those have all been consumed, but I see there is a new 2022 version out. I’ll have to pick up a bottle of it sometime soon to explore and hope it will be close to this legendary edition. Cheers!
