How is this an 86? Definitely deserves higher score than that; believe the community is right on this at 4.3 (right on, LeeEvolved at 4.75). I found it more impressive upon open than most and it got better as it oxidized. Granted, the bottle is pretty much finished a mere few months after picking it up but the nose and flavors expanded and shifted over that time. The smoke isn't as "in your face" as some other choices; I find it a veyr pleasant player. Chocolate is definitely here. Bacon, too... so, chocolate covered bacon anyone? This is just plainly good; I do own bottles of the Corry and Uige and it puts up a nice challenge.
