With the label change in mid-2015 along with an assurance the age statement would remain followed swiftly by the dropped age statement and, a bit later, a new bottle altogether, Heaven Hill has really done itself a disservice. I understand they're a business, and I like Potter, but this was handled poorly. I've tried the NAS and 12 in a few blind SBS and the profile is noticeably different and not for the better. I've gone from buying a few bottles of EC12 each month to two bottles of NAS when it was released and never returning. I won’t be surprised when they “re-launch” the 12 at $50.

I agree. The only bottle I've purchased so far was a single barrel store selection, so I don't want to leave a review based on that, but the profile is completely different. Thin. It did get better with some air and time, but I wish I had picked up a few more bottles of the age stated before it disappeared .
