What critics and judges wrote

Falstaff · November 2016
Sandalwood, green herbs, vanilla and a hint of citrus on the nose. Very well structured with a tight interweaving of sweetness and savouriness. The full force of a 100 proof bourbon on the finish.

Complex aromas such as roasted almonds, toffee, fine spice and mint. Caramel sweetness on the palate, followed by spicy notes. Powerful body with an almost never-ending finish.
Beverage Testing Institute · September 2020

Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2020
Candied cherries and oranges on the nose, along with a note of fresh blueberry and a blast of cinnamon. … A lengthy finish offers savory herbs, bitter chocolate, fresh coffee beans, and roasted walnuts. Great texture and well-balanced throughout.

Gold Outstanding2022iwsc.net ↗
Beautifully appealing on the nose as toffee apples, cinnamon, chocolate and nuts shine. Enjoyably integrated on the palate as notes of cereal, vanilla, tea and golden syrup interlace with fresh menthol on a journey towards a bold, lingering finish.
Silver2020iwsc.net ↗
A soft and elegant profile, with flavours of fruitcake, apricot and citrus. Balanced oak with spicy notes running throughout. A lifted and sweet finish.
Gold2016iwsc.net ↗
Wood chipping, petrichor and damp earth combine with red fruits to give a moist and inviting palate. A sumptuous and sweet palate is almost delicate in places with rich vanilla and oak spice. The finish is long and spicy.
Distiller · Jacob Grier
It's a boldly spicy bourbon, with flavors of maple, oak, vanilla, and a bit of char. … It's a very good bourbon for the price, and welcomed back with its 9 year age statement.
