Awards/Reviews:
"The nose is earthy and herbaceous, evoking charred campfire wood, fresh pine, and hazelnut. With time, strawberries and cream emerge. More wood on the palate. Lemon-ginger kombucha, Lemonheads, and black pepper are also present. That ginger is more muscular on the finish, which harkens back to the nose with notes of pine needle and spearmint." - Whisky Advocate
