What critics and judges wrote

Falstaff · November 2023
Complex nose that emphasises the typicity. Dark notes of matured oak and rye bread are in close contact with the sweetness of the corn. Balanced and accessible on the palate with multi-layered flavours. Banana chips in the finish.

Dry basic style with herbs, dried pear and ripe oak. Equally typical of the variety on the palate with lots of vanilla and well-integrated oak.

Aromas of wildflower honey, allspice, and yellow cake … This Bourbon over-performs at 86 proof with balanced intensity one would expect from a bottled-in-bond.
IWSC judges · Silver · 2024
Liquorice and subtle spice on the nose. The palate lifts with icing sugar, clove, and woody notes. The finish lingers pleasantly, showcasing a harmonious blend of sweet and woody notes.

Crisp green apple aromas lead to a warm palate of black pepper and marzipan, with hints of juicy apricot.
Bronze2023iwsc.net ↗
A sweet and fruity style with plenty of vanilla spice, stone fruit and toasty oak flavours.
Bronze2022iwsc.net ↗
Fresh with citrus and cut grass on the nose, flowing into smooth butterscotch on the palate.
Silver2021iwsc.net ↗
Beautifully integrated and deep with fresh oranges, abundant corn and a peat-like nuttiness. Soft and rounded overall with the potential to develop spectacularly over time.
Silver2019iwsc.net ↗
Maple Syrup, soft fruits, cinnamon and honey. Nutty on the nose and palate with a good finish. Custard creme brulee and coconut.
Distiller · Rob Morton
The aroma is slightly more complex than the Green Label with more notes of char, molasses, and carmel apple. The palate brings heat, rye, and muddled grains with the finish bringing much of the same with a little burn.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Bronze · 2023
A complex nose with strong medicinal notes alongside mint and floral honey. The palace is light and well-balanced with flavours of honey, pecan, and brown sugar, brightened by notes of mint and eucalyptus that linger on the finish.

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.
