Wow! Review is for the old label/bottle. Supposedly older than 12 years. I compared side-by-side with the new bottle and there is a difference. This version is richer, fuller, and smoother even at a higher proof. The new bottle is still delicious but I’m glad I was able to grab a couple of these before they vanish.
By adding a couple drops of water to the new bottling it actually brings the flavors a bit closer to the old bottling. It still has a bit more burn even at a lower proof. Rarely do I think some water helps but side by side with the older version it helps bring it alive. The older version is more of a hug than burn. Hopefully they get the new label to be just as good in years to come, but for now, it’s just shy of the mark.
5 ⭐️ / $109 / Saratoga Wine
4.5 ⭐️ (new bottling) / $70 / No. 1 LQ
