Note: I unfortunately didn't record which St. George Single Malt batch I tasted, so I toot my best guess and I'm leaving this tasting for batch 17.
This has a more robust flavor than St. George Breaking & Entering bourbon. It is sweet with rich chocolate and cherries coming out immediately, along with a smokey backing. There is some yeasty barley in here, as is typical of American single malts. It is rich for its category, but compared with other whiskeys it tends toward the weak side (not terribly so though). It's sort of like generic American single malt meets Symbole National. It's very rich and tasty with a good amount of complexity. It doesn't knock my socks off, but it's a great example of a rich, fruity whiskey. It's comparable to Glengoyne 15. The balance is great with only hints of alcohol or minerals.

Yeah, it's mostly in secondary now @Richard-ModernDrinking . $90 is the lowest I've ever seen, but that wasn't anywhere I could actually get it from. Mostly, it seems to be $150-250.
Think they're up to 20 now. Is it really up to $160 a bottle? Even at $100 it was a stretch.
