Enjoyed in the past with my small whiskey club, and this is a pour about a month later out of an Aged and Ore Flask. Nice copper color with some serious legs after a swirl of the Norlan glass. Nose is overarchingly sweet, and it isn't hard to find the influence of the cognac casks rising to the top. A bit yeasty/bready, and somewhat grainy...water doesn't do much to open things up further, but while there's ethanol, it isn't over the top given the ABV. I find the flavor of this whiskey to be the show...its deep, vibrant, and thoroughly enjoyable (and a number of drops allows the palate to shine). Plenty of fruits emerge...some grape, some fig, mostly dark fruit though, but there's more, including some chocolatey notes, some beer-like flavors, and again, no mistaking the influence of the cognac cask. I really thought this was a solid pour...but as much as I'll give a bonus tick to the lower shelfers that rise to the occasion, this does feel a bit overpriced for a whiskey that relies so heavily on the cask. Again, it is quite good, but this feels like it would be better served around $100-120...just my opinion...
