April 18, 2024 - Kenny Chesney put it best, I went to bed at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2.
On open, the nose was inviting and intoxicating, a real 10. An hour later with a double decant, this woke up as a 2. The nose was still a 10, the palate was at best a 2.
Bought direct from Brand and stored properly since. Fuuudddgge!1 person found this helpful 201 views

It also provides them with very important information to help prevent further incidents like that from happening again.
