"Caramel, spice and baked bread with a curious bit of dill in the aroma, leading to classic caramel and sweet vanilla flavors plus fresh herbs on the long and pleasing finish."

Double Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2023

Double Gold - SIP Awards 2023

Chairman's Trophy, 96 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023

"This is a show-stopper of a Bourbon with a complex bouquet of worn leather, buttered cornbread, toasted vanilla bean, white cherries. The palate shows dense layers of dried citrus fruit, cream pastries, and dried mint. Excellent sipping whiskey with a long, complex finish."

95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

" An exceptionally well-made example, delivering an intertwined aromatic display of rich caramel, dark honey and luxurious chocolate. Flavours of mahogany, ripe dark fruit and caramelised banana appear on the palate, framed beautifully by classy toasty oak and clove spice. Outstanding."

Gold - World Whiskies Awards 2022

“Nose: There is a peppery pinch to the spicy nose, which fits perfectly with the dark brooding nature of the beast. The slightly singed toast acts as a perfect counter to the mint and orange rind. Really complex and tempting. Taste: Wow! Loads of everything. As you might expect from the nose. A deep, satin-smooth oak and burnt sugar backdrop allows the malt and rye to have a big say. Lots of vanilla, too. Finish: Here, as it dries, the corn comes into dominance. Some vanilla toffee, too. Comments: Magnificent stuff from Heaven Hill that really is worth hunting for.” - Jim Murray
