What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · Jeffery Lindenmuth · 2019
Broad, earthy undercurrents of cigar wrapper, dark fertile soil, and spice support the honeyed sweetness and vanilla of this big-screen bourbon. … Well-balanced and easy sipping.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
Notes of peanut brittle, maple syrup, and leather greet you on the nose … The bourbon is sweet with vanilla maple cream flavors. The bourbon finishes on the spicy side and is a touch hot.

IWSC judges · Bronze · 2022
Sweetness throughout, combined with high alcohol content gives spices full reign on the palate. Bittersweet notes on light 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.
