This came in #4 of 6 with regard to order tasted, not by any sort of rank. It immediately followed Remus III and so my palate suffered from some availability bias. That in mind, this was Remus reserve III turned up to 11. There were similar notes to be found on the nose and palate but with more punch and more drying, mineral qualities from the mid palate to finish. It was also borderline punishing in the sinuses and I’m surprised the ~10 point bump in proof would make it so noticeable. I can’t say I prefer one vs the other besides the ridiculous difference in price. I never saw this in the wild for less than ~$200 at can say with certainty it is not $120 more fulfilling than the good Mr Gatsby’s label.
