Indeed, this is a 5-star whiskey! After the changes to another distillery, this one has become my favorite. This drink delivers everything I hoped for. It has sweetness, fruit, smoke, tobacco, and more. Let's explore it: Nose: butterscotch, tobacco, vanilla, dried plums, mesquite BBQ, burnt ends... Palate: salty caramel, BBQ, walnuts Finish: Minty, menthol, refreshing There's so much happening, it's difficult to describe! An amazing whiskey, and for only $69 at 60.6% ABV? That's better than Macallan! I admit I'm a fan of Macallan, but I have to pay five times as much for a similar experience. No way! I'd rather buy a case of this one! Cheers!
