What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · Julia Higgins · 2022
The nose is earthy and herbaceous, evoking charred campfire wood, fresh pine, and hazelnut. … More wood on the palate, though this time it’s more like sawdust. Lemon-ginger kombucha, Lemonheads, and black pepper are also present.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The red wine notes come through on the aroma with a tangy and berry profile. … The finish isn't super long and the bourbon isn't complex, but it's a nice enough whiskey.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
