The 2018 release was limited to 5,443 bottles globally and bottled at 40.5% ABV. It retailed for around $90 to $97.

  • Herbal with roasted sage leaves, coriander seed, savory meat juices, and a twinge of tarragon, though there are fruity qualities like fresh peach and clementine.

  • The result for their #1 release is a light, malty, and sweet dram. It's nutty on the palate, with notes of almond, straw, and a bit of herbaceousness on the finish.

  • The palate is chewy, with walnut notes, some spice, and a modest, somewhat pungent furniture polish character that points to its youth.
