So lets get this out of the way first. This is absolutely not worth $150. No way and no how. In todays market $60. The label is striking but you arent buying a label. Inside the bottle, i get a lot of pepper on the palette. Its not hot loke a bad whiskey would be but extremely peppery. Maybe a bit of an herbal note on the finish. I like it but wouldnt find myself buying another bottle. Would definitely be something a bit different on your shelf but better tasted with someone elses bottle.
