Double Gold - SIP Awards 2022, 2021
95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2022
"Elegant with a beautiful complexity on the nose as oak extracts combine with coffee beans, citrus and cereal. A lovely richness on the palate is enhanced with a warming spice into a sweet butterscotch finale.
93 Points, Great Value, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"Pretty, bright aromatics of crushed, dried flowers, mandarin orange peel, and a spice blend of green peppercorns, mace, and allspice. A silky mouthfeel, and bright notes of white pepper and dried tangerine carry a long, satisfying finish. Perfect on its own without water or ice."
