Since I reviewed this a year ago, nothing has changed. The reason for the re-review tonight is that I tried this side by side with Michter's 10 and Whistlepig 15, and this was the best pour of the bunch. Unlike the other two, the higher proof on this bottle (111.0) allows it to truly pop. I'm not one for subtlety, and this leaves no question about how much flavor it has to offer. My notes are surprisingly similar even a year later. This is still an incredible pour that is smooth, sweet, and refreshing with a burst of anise, nutmeg, clove, and ginger, followed by ginger snap cookie and biscotti. Smooth, creamy, almost powdery in the finish and it lingers and picks up a high note at the end.
