Awards/Reviews:

98 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2024

"A remarkably floral nose - also of freshly sawn oak and deep woodiness too. Very aromatic. Palate has such an elegant power to it with spice, fruits, and a rich, mellow finish. - very intricate but there's so much subtle spice and dried fruits in with the woody notes."

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2024, 2021

Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2024 2021

94 Points, Finalist - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021

"Deep and opulent nose of espresso bean, fig, dried red berries, sweet spiced nuts, and pound cake. Exceptionally smooth on the palate with apple pie, stone fruits, and burnt orange peel bolstered by touches of rancio. The finish is punctuated by a thirst-inducing saline edge."

92 Points - Whisky Advocate

"A 23 year old expression matured in American oak and a small number of sherry casks before a finish for up to 6 months in French cuvee wine casks. Canned apricots in syrup, toasted marshmallow, apple blossom, and honey on the nose. Pears, vanilla, freshly sawn timber, warm white bread, caramel, cloves and milk chocolate on the relatively full palate. Toffee and instant coffee in the lingering finish."
