Awards/Reviews:
93 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023
"Enchanting aromas of creme brulee, fresh corn, and baked orchard fruit pour from the glass of this 9-year-old Bourbon. Potent on the palate with notes of black pepper, cherry wood, and cedar with a pleasant salinity on the lingering finish."
98 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2022
"Beautifully appealing on the nose as toffee apples, cinnamon, chocolate and nuts shine. Enjoyably integrated on the palate as notes of cereal, vanilla, tea and golden syrup interlace with fresh menthol on a journey towards a bold, lingering finish."

92 Points - Whisky Advocate:
"Candied cherries and oranges on the nose, along with a note of fresh blueberry and a blast of cinnamon. Smooth on the front palate, with flavors of cinnamon gum, cooked dark berries, old leather, and dunnage warehouse floor. Water brings out chocolate and vanilla, as well as dark fruits and white pepper. A lengthy finish offers savory herbs, bitter chocolate, fresh coffee beans, and roasted walnuts. Great texture and well-balanced throughout." - David Fleming (Fall 2020)
