What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · Fred Minnick · 2016
The perfect proof. Rich in color, aroma, and flavor. It begins with powerful caramel, baking spice, chocolate, cherries, cinnamon, and toffee. … Hard to believe this is over 100 proof …

Distiller · Tim Knittel
The palate is hot, dominated by sweet barrel notes of smoke, caramel and vanilla along with holiday spices of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Medium-length finish with less heat fading into a pleasant dry and spiced warmth.

IWSC judges · Silver Outstanding · 2017
Wonderfully balanced nose for a high ABV bourbon which gives drop scones, crispy pancetta, oily bacon and some syrup notes. … A spiced cola note on the finish adds depth to this.

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.
