Not to rain on anyone's parade but I found the 2018 LE to be nothing special and very young tasting. Mars is attempting to ride the premium Japanese Whiskey wave (and probably succeeding) but the quality of the liquid is not good. For $70-80 USD I could find many whiskeys that are far superior with similar finishing.
