Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Classic rye notes of orange and pepper spice along with vanilla custard. … A lengthy finish that's full and rich, offering chocolate and reprising the tropical notes of pineapple and orange on the back note. Quite powerful, solid, and reliable.
The nose beckons sweet toffee and chocolate with barrel and vanilla. On the palate, spicy rye with more vanilla, barrel and toffee. In the end, a spiced finish of cinammon, nutmeg and oak.
