I am from Maine. I didn’t not go to the distillery but my friend/coworker got me this whiskey for Christmas! I love all bourbon, whiskey, and scotches and this old pali road whiskey is AMAZING!!! It 100% competes for the title in America for flavoring profile! Reminds me of higher end scotch and a hint of tropical nuttiness! From one vet to another, get some, if you’re able to purchase this definitely do! You won’t be disappointed at all. I wish I was able to buy some more but I’m half a world away.
