Chrystal Lindberg 4.0

This may be the most costly whiskey I have ever tried, as it can cost up to 8,000 per bottle in some shops. It appears that there once was a distillery called Stitzel Weller, managed by Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, and in 1961, he distilled this whiskey, which was bottled in 1969. Bottled at 50% ABV. On the Nose: Chocolate powder, cough syrup, and caramel chocolate (the Milka kind). On the Palate: Milk powder and chocolate notes. The finish is full of oak spice and chocolate. Actually a good dram. I would not pay $100 for it (it costs at least $2,000 for a 20cl bottle), but in terms of flavor, it is easily drinkable and quite enjoyable. 89/100.
