    • Recommended ForI recommend this to everyone. It’s what I call a “life event whiskey”. It’s something you should try in your life, and preferably save it for a special life event (birth of a child, wedding, etc.). It’s even cheaper than the 30 year old of the same year, at most retailers. It’s pricy, but worth it in my opinion.
