I remember this one being a bit polarizing in past reviews. Some for some against. I think it actually might be a bonafide case of distillery batch variation as I had the same thing happen to me with the Tamadhu cask strength. People raved and I got nothing out of it. This time it's different I really enjoyed this. Now it's not as complex as the Macallan whiskey makers edition. But it does what it has well and has none of the MWME bitterness on the aftertaste. Currants, toffee and more..nice dram. 4
