Legs, wonderful legs...even with a good splash of water. It runs like syrup. At first nose, I tried to remember to breathe in with both mouth and nose to cut the alcohol vapor. It worked straightaway with this 116 proof delight. Definite vanilla, cherry and something else out in the background. On the tongue the same but with a cream-like sweetness. On the finish I'm getting any number of sweet fruits like peach and mango ... and even coconut well after. Delicious! Was very lucky to get this along with a 12 year Irishman from a great online dealer a few months back. Apparently now many of my closer sources in D.C. are not shipping to PA anymore, due no doubt to some ridiculous change in the law. I feel like I'm going to have to nurse some of my beautiful collection until I can secure new replenishment sources. Woe is me, LOL! Fortunately, at least CA online stores seem to be excellent shippers to PA, with pricing that makes cross country shipping sensible.
Online $56.99 USD in mid Aug. and just snagged another one for $2 more. This stuff is getting very scarce.

Great review :-). That's a good price. If you like this definitely try the 15 year. Lustau is a great drop as well
@PBMichiganWolverine I really enjoyed it, up there with the 15 year in my mind
Let me know how that taste goes.
I have a pour of the lustau waiting—I’ve heard good things of that as well
