Sail #4
But full disclosure, I bought the bottle as a gift for my classmate's Surprise 60th Birthday party a couple months ago and he kept it sealed until our other classmate came into town to celebrate his 60th. So when we got together on Sunday, that's when we all tried it.
Was very smooth, I enjoyed it but am not a very good reviewer of stuff like this (...and cigars...) so can't tell you that it was a bit carmelly with a hint of oak or any other hyperbolic descriptions. I liked it, didn't burn going down and had at least one more shot afterwards (...probably 2 but things got a little fuzzy after a while...). However, I actually liked the Reserve a little better...and considering the price difference, would definitely get that over the Ocean.
The Ocean's "story" for this bottle / batch - where the ship docked, how many times it crossed the Equator, etc. was cool and I'm sure for the person(s) that can afford something like this, this is a fine specimen to have in their collection. But, for me, it was a special occasion purchase for a good friend and not something I would chase. Of course, YMMV.
