While I hesitate to review this too early seeing as I just opened it, but I’ve had a few drams so here's what I can say:
Compared to the 10 or Quarter Cask, this is more complex: bourbon notes shine on the nose and palate, it’s woodier (oak tanins) has more viscosity and a slight sherry sweetness and menthol/minty/ashy/dark choclate finish (which really comes out with a few drops of water). The 10 and QC, which I adore, are "peatier" but this is no slouch, just different and does not have that citrus-like sweet snap of the 10.
All in all, I 'm enjoying the journey and would recommend once at $60 or under.
3.75/5
