I like that it has the sweet, caramel, vanilla, Smokey flavors going for it. My knock against it is that the alcohol is very present. Surprisingly, it hits you right in the face when you go to sip it. 1942 and Clase Azul have none of that. I do like that the mouthfeel is thinner than 1942, and more similar to Clase Azul. I also like the interesting smokey, unami type flavors of the middle and finish. I had the 2018 release.
