Ironic as this is; I tried it last night and enjoyed it, it reminded me a bit of JW Black Label. I also sampled a Hibiki Harmony and didn't care for it although I har their aged whiskeys are very smooth. Tomorrow night planning to sample the Yamazaki 18 and 25 year SM.
I absolutely love this whisky, too bad it's really expensive and hard to get. At the time I bough it for $350, but now I see online it can go up to $1300. Now it's all sold out at my local Binny's.
