March 1, 2020 (edited May 23, 2022)
Whisky mountain top
Half-full bottle, open 2 months
Nose: smoke, brine, cream, vanilla
Taste: VERY Viscous, citrus, salt-water, ash
Finish: long, sweet cream, ash
Value: Best whisky experience I've had. I already bought a back-up. Every time I pick up a different bottle for my whisky journey and see this on the shelf, I get a little sick to my stomach when I leave it there. Hours have been spent ruminating about going to the various package stores which still have this bottle and spending my wife's paycheck.
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.

I hope there's a backup available to purchase once you finally crack yours. Thanks for commenting.
I bought the 2019 release 2 days ago and then I read about the 2017 Special Release and literally returned the 2019 and bought the 2017. My local store has 4 bottles of the 2017 left but I can't afford that so someday I will open this one for a special occasion and IT BETTER BE AWESOME! Slainte. Oh I paid $120 USD.
