What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2024
Complex orchard fruits on the nose with a sweet green pear palate and an underlying note of sweet smoke with floral hints that linger on the soft length.

The aroma entices with bright citrus and vanilla sponge cake, underscored by soft cereal notes and butterscotch. The palate reveals a creamy texture, rich saltiness, and characterful red fruit, leading to a warm, spiced finish.
Distiller · Ryan Conklin
The nose is round and complex with lots of bright tangerine, lemon and orange, with sweet notes of caramel and honey … There is lingering spice on the finish with salty sweet chocolate-covered caramel and wisps of campfire.

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.
