A buddy brought this over for some socially distanced drinking this afternoon. It’s not that it was bad, but it was just...there.
The nose is a funky adventure, with sweet and sour notes (emphasis on the sour...), sherr rancio, and a mild vanilla from the bourbon casks.
Palate and finish are much better, but still a little meh at 40%. It’s like Glendronach 12 on Valium. Fine to drink when offered by a friend. Not something I’d seek out, especially given the price for entry.

@PBMichiganWolverine true words there. It was a real treat just to interact with another non-familial human, and even in that right I’m fortunate to have the family with me.
@PBMichiganWolverine lol. Who would have thunk it 3 months ago.
Any drink with a friend in the same room right now is like having a 50yr old Macallan....priceless
