Whisky Advocate Top 20 · #17 · 2021
… this bourbon drops the high proof and price point typically associated with Kentucky Owl for something more approachable … Candied raspberries on the finish are matched with a sustained spice that lingers.

Falstaff · November 2023
Light amber colour. Medium intensity with notes of warm spices such as clove, caramel and some cola nut, fruity and citrusy nuances. Soft and slightly sweet on the palate with notes of caramel and spices on the long finish.

World Whiskies Awards judges · Silver · 2023
A smooth and fruity nose leads to a palate of fruit cocktail, vanilla, and cinnamon. A classic Bourbon with heavy vanilla and honey notes, culminating in a long, fruit-forward finish with hints of caramel popcorn.

Delicate, with a pleasant freshness and lovely notes of vanilla spice lingering 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.
