I haven't tried MWND yet, but I have one waiting for me that a friend picked up. Looking forward to your review of it!
I'm curious to know how you like C921. I've done side by side comparisons with the 3 different batches I have. The differences to me are nuanced, but over all taste very similar. That's just me and my weak palate though. I definitely plan to always have a bottle of it around though. I passed on the batches this year so that I could spend the money on other bottles instead.
I cracked open the Midwinter Nights Dram tonight. I've heard that it opens up and becomes more flavorful after the bottles been open awhile and I hope that's the case. Saying I was disappointed with it is an understatement. The nose reminded me exactly of my grandpa's old homemade wine (think strong church wine mixed with kool-aid but in a good way)
Palate: Not a whole lot going on. Similar to a fortified wine, nothing to make you think whisky.
Finish: Grandpa's homemade wine again but with more burn.
I've read alot of reviews about the particular batch I have and was very excited but it was a major let down. Hopefully it opens up more as it oxidizes.
