Neck pour. Nose is amazing and really opens up as you let it sit. Palate reminds me of JD triple mash and that is not a bad thing thing by any means. Velvety texture and mouthfeel which distances itself from the triple mash comparison. Definitely some oak on there as well. Worth MSRP but as of now i wouldnt pay over when you can find the triple mash on the shelf for half the price. Loved the batch one 12 year and this one falls short imo. Looking forward to this opening up as i sip over time.
