Awards/Reviews:

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2024, 2023

95 Points, Gold - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2021

"An excellent spirit with a good balance and a complex flavor. Rich and fruity on the tongue with a maple syrup sweetness and delicate spicy notes. It lingers pleasantly on the palate. Fudge and slight citrus to finish. Enjoyable."

94 Points, Finalist - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021

"Boasting a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, this 12 year old malt is decadent without going overboard. Thanks in part to a lack of perceptible smoke, the flavor profile is all about sweet dried fruit rounded out with a dose of sweet honey, vanilla, and oak."

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

"Aged in former American whiskey casks, then finished in barrels that previously held PX and oloroso sherries, this single malt balances sweetness, spice and oak. Caramel and vanilla aromas are echoed on the velvety palate, plus cocoa and espresso, finishing with clove, cinnamon and a hint of lemon peel."

91 Points - Whisky Advocate

"Balanced sweetness and very smooth sipping—a treat for sherried scotch fans."
