Receiving some of this in the mail in a swap made me happy because I have only had YS 9 year so far.
This is a full roast taste for sure. The first sip is very welcoming, but drinking it over a session becomes very dry. I don’t think either the 9 or 5 year is smoother, unless someone considers the dry factor to weight this one down.
This is more of a cup to drink when cold while the other is better to taste the minerals of the DHP. I like both and don’t see a clear difference between the roast and dryness of each.
