WOW, I think I just grew chest hair! Really good stuff here, with notes of honey and lemon zest on the nose. The palate is herbaceous and slightly sweet, with an obviously generous dose of smoke. On the finish, there's a nice touch of bitterness akin to dark chocolate that lasts for minutes on end, coupled with wood spices that needs water to tame down. Great stuff.

There's a 10?
I have had 6.3, currently on 6.1, and haven't opened my 7.2. Would snag a 7.4 and/or the 10 year without hesitation if I could find it. Need that chest hair.
I have a bottle of the 07.2, which is a travel retail exclusive. I've only tasted it once but it was much lighter than I expected. Maybe some time will help it along
