Yeah I hear ya. The orange label "small batch" is crap. This is closer to the real good shite I remember. Blue label. Back then the company was just starting out I think. You are making me thirsty enough to see if I can find a decent bottle. Even a guy like me would save something that good for special occasions.
It's funny - two years ago Washington passed a craft distillery law that allows anyone with a permit to sell, like, 200 gallons of distilled spirits. I thought that sounded like an awesome business opportunity. Apparently so did everyone else. There is now no shortage of overpriced "craft" spirits that cost like Macallan and taste like Ballantine's. Maybe it'll be better in a few years, but...
