Prices are shown in U.S. dollars for a 750 mL bottle. A dependable manufacturer-published U.S. MSRP could not be verified, although contemporary U.S. publications listed the bottle at approximately $68. Therefore, $67.99 is used as an estimated original MSRP. Because the 2019 limited edition is discontinued, approximately $90 to $140 represents a reasonable specialist-store price. Auction results vary considerably by location, condition, packaging, fees, and shipping, supporting an estimated secondary-market range of approximately $80 to $175. Highly inflated specialty-retailer asking prices should not be treated as confirmed market value.
Flavor Profile
Buttery caramel, vanilla, citrus, and seasoned oak lead the aroma. The palate develops toffee, maple sweetness, rye bread, ripe fruit, milk chocolate, baking spice, and mature wood. The finish is warm and lingering, with caramel, peppery rye spice, citrus peel, and drying oak.
