I'd probably give this 4.5 if it was an option. A few tips if you try this: 1) Try it before you drink anything else. The subtleties are easily overlooked if your palate is used to bigger, more grain forward whiskey. And 2) don't go in expecting bourbon. This is a wonderful product but it's nothing like bourbon. The nose is sweet with graham crackers and marshmallows and the palate matches. This is a great summer whiskey and likely one of the most unique products you'll try. 14 year light whiskey just doesn't exist. I would happily by another bottle at $100.
