Whisky Advocate · Fred Minnick · 2016
Think caramel bomb. … The incredibly long finish sits there with caramel. The only knock here is that caramel can be overwhelming, but it's also bourbon's staple note.

There's a marriage here, one of perfect harmony; fruit, floral, spice, sweet, and expressive toasted oak. … Its proof never shows, but the medium finish is just a touch short to make this truly special.
94 pts2010whiskyadvocate.com ↗
This is a stylish, big, broad-shouldered bourbon with a thick, sweet foundation (nutty toffee, pot still rum, maple syrup) peppered with spice (cinnamon, but also vanilla and evergreen) and dried fruit. Dry, warming, resinous finish.
Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The aroma has a nice sweet and spiced character to it with maple, vanilla, and toasted oak standing out. It sips slow and steady with everything in balance, especially with a bit of water added.

IWSC judges · Gold · 2017
A massive note of oak and blood orange, backed with cloves and nutmeg on the nose. The palate gives sandalwood, cedar and some cinnamon backed with vanilla, blackcurrant and orange peel.

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.
