Of all the whiskies I've tasted, this is hands-down the best. It might even be the best I ever get to try. It's opulent and smooth, with notes of dried fruit, mango, cocoa, and a cherry jolly rancher sweetness. It genuinely feels like you are experiencing a piece of the past. The finish is thick and peppery.
