Batch 144: from the moment I opened it and then slowly consumed a dram I had one thought--this smells/tastes like Mount Gay Extra Old. Now I like a good rum, and that is one of my favorites, but it's a bit strange coming from a whiskey. Update: after a back-to-back comparison I would say that my Stranahan's tastes like what spiced Mount Gay XO would taste like if they made it.
