Bottle thanks to Stuu's muling it from Chicago.
Appearance - lively, slight gush, like Coca Cola. One or two floaters.
Nose - honey, molasses, Blackjacks, burnt toffee.
Taste - molasses mainly, cola, Kendal Mint Cake.
Palate - medium bodied, tangy and rich, fizzy texture.
Overall - didn't pour well, but got better and better.

Bottled cellared since purchased as part of the release. Wow - I live the Eclipse series and this one stands out in robust, rounded flavor that is cut perfectly by the honey aspects. This has apparently aged perfectly since 2023. Nice roast on flavor and the ABV is hidden here.
