That's what I was saying, those Luxardo cherries really are clutch in an old fashioned.

Was just talking about the wheaters in general. They were all great.

I'll take a shot of the label when I get home.

I have a regular JPS18 open also and have tried them side by side a few times. The biggest difference is the waxier mouthfeel of the non chill filtered version. Definitely pick up a few sweeter notes and richer fruit tones in it. Both are phenomenal though.

It was great in its own right. It's fairly complex and has some good spice for a straight wheat. We got a lot of tangerine and light vanilla notes on the nose with some cinnamon and oatmeal undertones. Palate was spicier than anticipated and tasted some caramelized cinnamon apples and vanilla bean with the citrus notes being more subdued. My only complaint would be a bit short of a finish for its age, but figure it's due to the softness of the wheat.
