My definitive opinion is in the name itself: a very rare occasion it will be before I choose to drink this whiskey again. It already takes guts to release something WITHOUT AGE STATEMENT and sell it for $300 CAD, but then to be this disappointing... The nose is initially pleasant with notes of apples, but that quickly changes as an off-putting odour becomes prominent - imagine aged and slightly rotted wood. The palate has a nice touch of vanilla and caramel, with a finish that's extremely smooth though short, but by then the damage has irreparably been done.
