Revisiting this after over a year. Nose: Sweet tea, mushrooms, put out camp fire, sea salt, chocolate. Taste: fruit, black tea, cherry, walnuts. Experience: Eating a chocolate by a now wet fire pit. It is a very well balanced whiskey which is great but to be honest it's little brother the 12 is also fantastic and for a fraction of the price. if the dropped this to $80 I would recommend it more readily.
