Natural color, brilliant presentation. Nose opens with old fashioned butterscotch candies and questionable honey, the kind that just may be cut with corn syrup. Old fashioned dry ginger ale, vanilla butter-cream frosting and something rich and sharp underneath it all that reminds me of Irish cream or white cheddar popcorn. Once on the palate it's unbelievably smooth, even buttery, with some grilled peppers and coconut that carries through the finish with faint (very faint) wisps of sweet charcoal smoke. It's a fascinating, creative and quality dram, for sure, but I still can't justify the overweight price tag. Thanks as usual goes to our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Pranay for the ALMOST FULL FIFTH! A RIGHT-HONORABLE, STAND-UP FELLOW, IF-THERE-EVER-WAS-ONE, FULL-STOP.

Also picked up a 14 yr old distillery only whiskey from High West in Park City...looking forward to trying that
Have a great trip, and stay a safe distance from the buffalo! 😎
Glad you liked it! Btw---In Jackson Hole---going to try some of the places you recommended
