Whiskey of the year? Let’s try it! A very complex nose full of different smells: sugar, caramel, butterscotch, oak. The flavor is good. It’s got a lot going on given the 4 different grains used. It’s smooth and still has a solid taste that lingers into a long finish. It’s good. Very good. Whiskey of the year? I’m not an expert but I’ve had better. If you can get this for MSRP, it’s worth it all day. But $300-400 a bottle? Hard pass.
