Has a few distinct yet separate taste elements, like you’re having a flight of very different whiskeys. First you get a little heat, and the bourbon char. A few moments later you get the malt, bready notes of a highland single malt, then the edge of the sherry barrel. The finish is a bit spiky, like an orchestra mildly out of tune. Or is it Spiritualized? I can see this being a divisive dram as it was for me. Half the time I drank it I gave it a 3, the other half a 5. So I split the difference more or less. Very enjoyable and complex, especially for $30-35. I’d buy again. Update: couldn’t keep this at 4 stars with eagle rare at the same score. If I saw them both at the same price I’d buy the eagle rare every time.
