American Single Malt — Texas, USA

Cateleja is a complex beast. Raisins, truffles, sulphuric dry sherry sweetness, chocolate, dates, tobacco, and mature grapes.
Cons:
1. The price
2. The rotten egg flavor of sulphuric sherry, which is prominent with the bottle first opened. (A popular Youtuber review even started the review with a frown about the rotten egg note, but later admires its 'complexity'.)
Pros:
1. Complex
2. Unique
3. Maybe all those dark flavors coalesce and harmonize with a little air and time opened up...
I'm taking a half-glass empty approach, especially after comparing it to the instantly pleasing and wondrous Glendronach batch 12 right afterwards...
