Bottle 000186129 (WH CL-D) 8.5 years. I really like the original, and based on the sheer nonsense of decoration and words on this bottle, I fear the worst.
Neat in Glencairn at home. Nose has some cherry cola, Dr. Pepper spice, vanilla, oak. Some heat coming through. Taste is more of the same, amplified by the heat. Second and third sips are more smooth, as my palate adjusts to the spice and heat. Splash of water brings out a bitterness, like birch. I just don't know about this one. I can say that I prefer the former "multi-barrel." 12/9/19

Bummer this one doesn't hold up. I was planning on reviewing the original 7 year tomorrow night. Like you, I'm a big fan. So it's a shame to hear that this one doesn't cut it. I'll say this though; I tried the 13 year Baker's SB last night and it is simply amazing. Hopefully you just got a bad barrel
