What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate Top 20 · #18 · 2022
… this whiskey was taken off the still at a lower distillation proof, highlighting the flavors formed during fermentation and proving that age isn’t everything. … A peppery, coffee-laden finish rounds out an unconventional drinking experience.

Whisky Advocate · Julia Higgins · 2022
Tart and tangy, this leans into citrus, with lime juice, lemon peel, and grapefruit at the fore. Give it a moment and richer, if a little artificial, notes arrive: chocolate syrup, Swiss Miss, and Yoo-hoo.

Distiller · Amanda Schuster
Vibrant notes of ripe, dark cherry, apple, nutmeg, clove, and vanilla greet the nose with a slight twinge of alcohol. The palate has a fun bite akin to salty malted pretzels. … Ends a bit hot, but that's to be expected.

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.
