MB Roland Single Barrel Bourbon 58.2% Whiskey 75cl

Firstly, to all potential aficionados and connoisseurs of MB Roland I would recommend trying/buying the small batch MB Roland before moving onto this single barrel. Secondly, I think a 1.5 rating is very harsh from someone who has probably bought this on a whim for the first time without having previously sampled the small batch or any other MB nor given the bottle/dram time to air.
Thirdly, while not as complex on the nose or palate as the last single barrel master of malt stocked(56.7%abv) it is still good and has that dried raisins and apricots finish I like with lots of pot-pourri oak spices and popcorn on the nose, caramel and thick viscosity which I find hard to put down. By the way this NO age statement straight bourbon has to be at least 4 years( equivalent to approx. 8 year old Scotch) by US law which is probably the average age of a lot of good quality bourbons on the market so to call it young is just plain misinformed in my opinion.

I bought this bottle expecting high expectations but unfortunately it didn't deliver. You can tell straight away it's a very young bourbon and the flavour profile lacks depth and is somewhat artificial to me.
