What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2023
A sweetly perfumed nose, with fruity aromas of date and raisin, alongside notes of caramel, charred oak and vanilla. The mouthfeel is velvety and luxurious, revealing butterscotch, black treacle and dark honey. Rich, indulgent and extremely long. Exquisite!

Aromatic cinnamon leads to a smooth, toffee-rich palate with a pleasant mouthfeel, concluding with a dry, slightly sharp finish that balances its easy-drinking complexity.
Silver · 90 pts2025iwsc.net ↗
The aroma reveals a luscious wave of caramel, rich vanilla, and clove spices. On the palate, layered butterscotch meets roasted cacao and cedar, while sweet black coffee adds depth.
Silver · 91 pts2024iwsc.net ↗
Sweet cream and tropical fruit aromatics. Lush creamy palate that balances tropical and orchard fruit with a velvety texture. The finish is light yet satisfying. Beautifully crafted.
Silver2022iwsc.net ↗
Confected sugar and hints of yeast on the nose with a widening palate of honeyed sweetness, dried fruits, coffee and cacao. Warmth develops leaving a pleasantly lingering woody aftertaste.
Bronze2021iwsc.net ↗
Buttery popcorn with lifted menthol and creamy sweetness. Integrated spicy heat with nuances of peat.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · July 2021
The palate is markedly sweet and spicy, showing vanilla, caramel and a mix of cinnamon and cayenne. Adding water tones down the heat and brings a flavor or cinnamon red-hot candies wrapped in caramel squares.

Beverage Testing Institute · August 2026
Amber color. Aromas of caramel, rye toast, and walnut muffin with a full body and a long dried orange and black tea finish. Well-aged and balanced with a black tea-dried orange finish that brings you back for more.

Whisky Advocate · Susannah Skiver Barton · 2020
Initially reticent on the nose, with time this reveals gooey caramel, pralines, Hershey's milk chocolate, and a touch of charred mint leaves. It's chewy and occasionally sharp on the palate …

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
As you taste, the bourbon is very spicy, almost painfully so. … Overall, the bourbon is bittersweet--heavier on the bitter--and on the thin side. If you enjoy eating mouthfuls of cinnamon red hots, this is the bourbon for you.

A warm and delightful nose with buttery caramel popcorn and a touch of corn; a and smooth palate with caramel drizzled shortbread cookie dusted with some freshly grated nutmeg …

The nose is full of fruit, raisins and big bold winter fruits like fig. The palate moves to stewed apples, with a hint of spiced cream pie, demerara sugar, maple and some more creamy complexity.

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.
