Critic reviews of other releases
The significant loss of the angel’s share has created an incredibly concentrated and powerful whiskey. … The palate is bold and flavorful, with Mexican hot chocolate, mashmallow, and spiced fruits. The finish is long and robust.
A complex nose of leather, cedar chest, black tea, cooked cherries, rich spice, and polished oak … You might want to tough it out at barrel proof, but water benefits this whiskey, and saves your taste buds.
