What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Susannah Skiver Barton · 2020
One sniff is like opening a box of chocolates—plenty of different aromas, from raspberry filling to pecans to spice, but all suffused with cacao, an impression borne out by the rich, full palate.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The nose shows a swirl of caramel and chocolate, but there's a fair amount of char and oak as well showing some depth. … Overall the oak is really nicely integrated here.

IWSC judges · Gold · 2020
An example with great complexity. Subtle notes of coffee and hazelnut on the nose compliment the toasted oak, sweet spices and fresh tropical fruits on the palate. A fruity and peppery finish.
