N: Some of same nutty, chocolate, and dark fruit I remember from the 12, but additionally there is a treble note of mineral tang there too. P: the app review is right that there is a more pronouncing wood influence on this one. Some cherries and cranberry, slightly herbal, certainly not as rounded as I remember the 12. In spite of the age, this is a "spikier" whiskey than its younger brother, even with a few drops of water. F: Long and warming, some bitterness like root vegetable or dark cocoa. Wood notes and hint of citrus lingers. This is hardly a bad whiskey, but both from a value standpoint and my overall enjoyment, I do prefer the 12 and Lustau expressions more.
