People say they don't like the Dickel in it, but it doesn't bother me whatsoever. If I blinded this, I would have said the front/mid palate reminded me of a nice 9 year Russell's Single Barrel pick from CN-F that I have. But I would say the finish is quite different then the Russells, not unpleasant, but different. I'm giving it a 4.25, becuase I really enjoy it. But I'm knocking down 0.25 star becuase of the price point. I paid $120 for this, but despite the price, it's still very good. But if it came in around $80, it would be a buy all day for me, and I would give it a 4.5. For reference, here is the blend: - 35% Georgia 8 Year - 31% Kentucky 12 Year - 19% Tennessee 17 Year - 15% Ontario 12 Year
