I immediately ordered more bottles after tasting this. It's everything I love about a higher-boost bottle. Amplified flavors, pleasant warming, bigger body, but no twang to it, nor harsh edges. Big balanced nutty caramel nose and palate, with some dried leaves knocking around in the background. Perfect whiskey for autumn (or a time when you wish it were autumn). One of those whiskies that makes your eyes pop because it's so balanced and layered--not because it's so forward and strong.
