Tasted at "Local Bar", an upscale (read: overpriced) restaurant in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Tart nose, nutty sherry, sweet malt and citrus, oak-heavy spices, layer of vanilla. Thick palate, starts with rich cinnamon-sugar before quickly turning bitter, mirroring a surprisingly quick finish for an 18 year-old. Meh, bit of a let-down. Enjoyed it enough, but wouldn't drop coin for a fifth. Clashed a bit with the (sadly overdone) Elk chop and truffled mashed potatoes.

I agree with Oliver: Give it anothet try! This malt is significantly better than the 12-year-old expression...
Pls read my just gone on this site review to explain my obsession with adding water. I'm Actually a hard person like you but the 18 yr old is unique. More water the better
Mate you must. If you do and still regret it I think we r the sort of lads that can meet up in Vegas and discuss it further
Not to worry Oliver, I always add a touch of water to my single malt, I think the whole experience was tainted by the disappointing restaurant. I'll probably try this again at some point.
If you had no water with it you missed the whole thing
