I just finished this bottle last week. You're right about the water , it doesn't add anything significant extra. I'm fortunate to have another one gifted by my son. I suggest you clear the shoulders and let it rest for a month or two. I found it to get an ever deeper taste. Enjoy and keep up the good work.
Thank you Jan! That is a nice gift from your son, you raised him right. I have just got this one past the shoulder now and snuck it to the back of the cabinet to rest 😉
Sounds lovely, Wade. According to whiskybase the 2022-07-07 bottling that you have is 100% sherry. With most J & A Mitchell bottlings it can be worthwhile not rushing, as often they can open up very well in the bottle over the course of some months. I have one in the stash from 2021-09-06 that's 30% bourbon, 60% sherry, and 10% Chardonnay.
Thank you Jbar, that makes sense given the colour. That composition on yours sounds pretty amazing too! Yes, I am looking forward to coming back to this one in a few months to see how it's evolved 😊 Thanks for checking it out!
Great review Wade, loved each of the reviews and managed to pick up one of the Longrow Peated expressions after your last one. Keep up the great content, Slàinte 🥃
I found 2 bottles hidden in a warehouse early 2020 for like 110 euros. Lol. I grabbed one and my buddy grabbed one. I believe the one I have is rum cask finished. Very delicate peat. One of my favorite 18's ever.
Luckily here where i live in Germany you can find rare finds for reasonable prices. I made good friends with the shop owners and they always hook me up. Lol great reviews man. Keep them coming. @McIntyresMalts
I was able to get a 2019 bottling from a UK online shop. At that time they were available for a reasonable price. Absolutely loved it. Cheers Wade
One I am enjoying, but will find hard to replace at these prices :(

Another great review Wade. Impressive descriptions of the nose and palate elements. I hope to get one someday
Thanks for watching Zedman!
I brought a bottle of this from Glasgow back to NYC to share with all my buddies at my bachelor party. Special one for me! Good stuff.
A worthy bottle for the occasion!
Great review Wade.
