Bottled at 86 proof, it is exclusive to the US market and became available in May 2024, with a suggested retail price of $99.

Fredrick Dougherty 4.3

The first few sips are wonderful. It's smooth, sweet, rich, and aromatic with notes of orange segments, orange zest, baking spices, tobacco, vanilla, caramel, a hint of rancio, and a touch of bitterness that balances the initial sweetness.
