Tasted: 2016 ( a double - $50 gift card) and 2017 (Bottle x 2). Why rated so low? Is it the exquisite smoothness of these blends? Or maybe the absence of burn? As if that is needed to enjoy any whisky, especially one of this character. I know it took me a while to fathom the smooth complexity of this whisky. Something tells me it is the exclusivity and price for same which is responsible, as many today have become ultimate bargain seekers and will not settle for less. Well let them pass it over. There will simply be more for those of us who love it.

Stephanie Moreno can be a tough grader at times. She ranked Gran Duque D'Alba Gran Solera a 78 yet his got a 93 on the Beverage Tasting Institute and a 98 in the Wine Enthusiast Magazine. She also ranked Cardenal Mendoza and Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real both an 86 yet Cardenal Mendoza Carta Real is the higher end of the 2.
