Mario Hardwick 5.0

The aroma is excellent. Sweet and very nutty on the tongue. Rich caramel. Hints of buttery bread and movie theater popcorn, nutmeg, and leather. It finishes with orange peel and cacao bits. It drinks smoother than its alcohol content suggests, but it does bring warmth. This is exceptional. 6/29/18

Jessie Milner 4.0

Fiery! Not for the faint of heart. This is intense. Also quite good.

Lawson Gannon 5.0

Best bang for your buck. A decade old and less than $100? Incredible!
