Awards/Reviews:
91 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023
"Fresh apple and honey aromas with notes of rose, blue fruit and cereal on the palate. Good complexity of flavors and balance."
90 Points - Whisky Advocate
"The late Dr. Jim Swan favored the shaved, toasted, and re-charred red wine cask, and here it imparts an explosion of pan-roasted spices and peppercorns accompanied by aromas of blueberry, strawberry jam, and rowan jelly. The palate gets a little hot, with flavors of licorice, ginger-nut biscuits, pepper, and clove adding to the red apple and rowan notes. Rather than neat pours, this makes pretty special Highballs."
