NEAT NOSE - Hard Cherry Candy, Vanilla, and Caramel PALATE - Velvety mouthfeel. Notes of Subtle Oak, Juicy Fruit Gum, Vanilla and Pear FINISH - Long, smooth, delicate finish. Delicate fruit leads way to a rye spice kind of finish. BUY? - It’s much better than last year’s. That’s for sure. I still don’t like the price. You gotta decide if it’s worth a shot or not, but you’re not skipping whiskey of the year if you pass. BUY AGAIN? - For $70-80? - Yes. For $135? Absolutely not.
