I thought this was great (3-1-26), and I believe it's worthy of much higher scores than what's on the panel rating here. Unless something's changed or I'm missing something.. I thought this was delicious

AMM Blind Tasting: On the nose I get caramel, brown sugar, stewed fruit, a hint of citrus, some jam and molasses On the palate it’s full bodied with notes of plum, jam, black pepper, some cooked agave and molasses. A pretty heavy barrel influence on the finish with a good burn. Nearly a $500 price tag

AMM Blind. Aroma is buttery with light oak and agave. Light oak in the flavor along with rich almond. This has a long finish with a hint of spice and tasty vanilla caramel. Excellent. Unfortunately loses points for the nearly $500 price tag.

Lots of fruit, leather, oak on the nose-subtle and light. The flavor has cinnamon, pitted fruit and some barrel spices, but it is light. Other than the cinnamon, the finish dissipates very quickly. Scored a 3 for value.
