I believe there is a difference between the old bottling which was amazing and the new which is a different whiskey. Had a bottle of the old one closed.
Smooth, good flavors up front, very mature, but the finish ruined this drink, I am positive I taste ammonia/cat piss. I'm pretty sure one of the barn cats at the distillery pissed on my barrel. Would not recommend my bottle to anyone; will drink it with my enemies, may be a quality control issue.
Some BS!!!!! Only time I'll ever buy this again is at clearance sale!
SO I was hesitant to pick up this bottle. A friend had suggested, but the reviews were not inspiring. I am glad I bought it! At first blush, this dram is not "in you face" exciting. But there is a complexity that is worth a second tasting. Sweet oak and honey, the flavors are light, but balanced and the finish lingering, without being cloying. having some 120 bottles in the collection, this bottle is not at the top, but it is not in the bottom either. Serve this to Scotch neophytes that are not ready for the heavy hitters.
It was not worth it. It tastes like a $20 whiskey at best. Burn over powers any hints of anything.
