Having looked it up since my last tasting, I see that this is one of those situations like with Winchester Extra Smooth, where the fancier sounding one is actually the cheap one, which explains why this isn't as good as the regular Esmé. Not nearly as good. I'm immediately hit by the sulfur and sweetness. It's kind of like the vodka version of Clan MacGregor because there are interesting and potentially good flavors in here, but the sulfur just overwhelms them, making this difficult to drink. I think my last tasting was too generous, unfortunately. Yeah, the sweetness and floral notes are nice, but this has a lot of sulfur and harshness. I'd actually be wary about even mixing with this.
