Batch 11, 53.8 ABV - 2015 Shoulder pour, 1 week open leather, cherry, malt, chocolate - nose salt, brine, oak, plum, orange peel bitterness - taste astringent, dark chocolate - finish Its a hard to find whisky with little comparison drams out there; would chase this to around $110. Something about this just tastes old to me...like a big-city public library. Its not pretentious, just authentic. The palate of this whiskey goes through multiple phases, and is wonderful to experience. However, each change isn’t dramatic, and feels carefully managed. I’m looking for a back-up bottle. 5.0 - go out and buy all of the stock you can find. 4.0 - must buy at least one bottle before you die. 3.0 - solid, must try at a bar, or mooch from a friend. 2.0 - didn't like it, you may. 1.0 - you may have the palate of my dog, and he licks his own ass.
