It is, a tad. This is my second bottle. Super woody, almost cigar-box like. Very little in the form of softer notes like caramel or fruit, and on the palate, though the tanins are initially a bit harsh, it turns a bit spicy and has tiny hints of vanilla.
Rendezvous and Double Rye are my favorites from that company.
No oops there. That's good stuff.
What are you looking for?
Japanese whisky, scotch, sweet chips
Any specific bottles? And, I've never tasted my chips. Which ones are sweet?

Hm.... what are the odds?

That KO Batch 4 is $300 around here. I have 2 and 3 and can't imagine that 4 is that much better, if any.
Sorry to disappoint you, Paulo, but I'm not much of a fan of limited releases. I'm always suspicious that they were created by mistake, so someone decided "What the hell, let's sell it as something special!" Especially at the bottle price of a decent used car...
(Kinda like Mike Cross's description of jazz -- "Hit a bad note? No problem -- just legitimize that note by repeating it."
I'm more interested in a distillery's ability to produce consistent flavor over the years, so I can have confidence when I recommend it to someone else.
Most experts say Ardbeg quality dropped a bit after 1978, but they seem to be doing very well since the last closure ... still my favorite Islay, though.
Sample trade?
I'll send som pics...
