I happy to get this bottle enough to buy a second one. But it is not worth over MSRP, save that for Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. This one gives more variety over the regular small batch like more sweet dessert flavors. I enjoy flavors like vanilla, toasted marshmallow, maybe some creme brûlée. But it will never be a good substitute for Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and would gladly pay extra for that over EC Toasted Barrel.
