Great whiskey, almost green tea, asia spices star aniseed, green apple flavour. Very unusual but great

I have this in the queue. Can’t wait to open it. :)
@PBMichiganWolverine Yes definitely the best way to do it all round for health and enjoyment I think!
@Soba45 @Richard-ModernDrinking @WhiskeyLonghorn I guess I’ve also been at a jog pace, so haven’t tired of it yet. I remember during the SDT that Scott, Lee, Paul. telex and I were in—towards the end, I was just tired of it, was too much too fast
@WhiskeyLonghorn @Richard-ModernDrinking I must be getting old as 2 years prior with similar amounts I was fine! :-). I was on the wind down anyhow as similar to my wine and craft beer odesseys in my 20s and 30s I've got to a point with whiskey there is little if anything I want to explore these days... It's feeling like various shades of similar colours. I'll still enjoy a whiskey or two once every so often similar to a wine or beer but more just having a drink enjoying and not really critiquing..I'll potter through my last dozen samples once I can find them as with the house reno I have no idea where the hell they are and then similar to Joe C and Lee E I'll be mostly retired from Distiller, reviewing and tasting. Less marathon running more the occasional jog going forward :-). Amazingly my liver and kidney tests have been great and I want to keep them that way!
@Soba45 I guess that answers my question about what would have happened if I’d tried everything I wanted to at The Whisky Show. Be well!
@Soba45 holy shit man! Glad you’re not dead!
@WhiskeyLonghorn yeah, likewise. I wasn’t sure if I should be impressed or terrified that @Soba45 was coherently able to type. ;-)
Oh good! I was afraid for your liver for a moment there, but simultaneously amazed that you were able to type straight after allegedly imbibing so many samples at once!
@WhiskeyLonghorn Ah no just catching up on posting tasting notes. been a couple of weeks since I had a whisky :-)
Seems like you’re working through your samples this week.
