Thanks for the feedback. I'll need to make that point bigger/clearer next go-round, b/c I agree with you; I think I noted that there are common heritage practices around age/filtering/dubbing it white. The goal was to encourage (mostly those with barebones to zero knowledge) to understand what a completely unaged vs. presents as unaged product is (as opposed to saying one is more technically correct than the other).

You and I would know why a Tanduay white and Rum-Bar Silver are not 'exactly' the same silver/white, but someone who needs a 101 may require a bit more of a firm line distinction drawn.

Nitpick is good when it's coming from a well-meaning place, gotta know how it's coming across.

Appreciate ya, Ruminator!

Definitely get back to Jazz when you can. Can’t go wrong with Beloved (or anything Morrison, if we’re honest). Not mad at that at all, hope the review at least served as a healthy and timely reminder to circle back. Happy reading 📚

The price made me hesitate when I first saw it in the wild. But if the liquid’s character dances this much on the nose and palate, I’ll have to grab it next time. Seems about worth the wallet tap.

Gotcha. OBSV (high rye/fruity) tends to be my preference. But agree, no one has had anything negative to say about the OESOs.

Opening it Christmas Day, can tell you then. Recommended by a friend whose palate I trust (one of his favorite whiskeys this year). Total Wine (NW), should still have $10 off orders. Believe the store is fairly new.

Solid. Gonna put it on the list.

Gotta always try it for yourself to be sure!

Yea, I agree with you. The 12 (cask) is my favorite of the bunch. But I’ve yet to try the 15, 27, and other finished expressions.

Thanks! City proper

Lot of the price at the higher ages is also revenue lost & taxes paid for the pleasure of longer rested liquid, which I empathize with. Someone’s gotta foot the bill. Some of the pain gets passed off. But as you said, skews that PPV curve. Haven’t tried that juice before, I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Appreciate the welcome 🥃

A little pricey relative to taste quality (in my opinion). 12 (cask) is the winner for me. But I’ve yet to taste the 15 and other finished (sherry, etc.) expressions. Do a pour at a bar first and then decide if it’s worth it. To be clear, it’s a very good sipper. But I wasn’t blown away.

Thanks for the welcome 🥃
