Best Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey - Intl Whisky Competition 2022

"A bold fruity nose of sweet autumnal fruits and a touch of caramel giving softness which leads to a wonderfully smooth palate of ripe dates, toasty oak and complex spice that runs right to the finish."
Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2022
Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2022
Gold - Ascot Awards 2022
“Classic caramel, dusty corn, and sweet oak aromas lead to a creamy punch of more caramel plus chocolate flavors, capped with a nice long finish. Delicious!”
92 Points, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"Luscious and sharp aromas of nutmeg, cloves, and cocoa powder are completed by crushed black pepper and apricots. The palate is generous and creamy while being surprisingly elegant and balanced. Warming and pronounced finish."
97.5 Points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
"Spectacularly mind-blowing!"
94 Points - Whisky Advocate
"This kicks off with a bounty of dark fruit—dark berries, cherry cough drops, and currants—coupled with heaps of vanilla, mocha, and rich oaky notes. Big and brawny on the palate, it pours bold and viscous, the blueberry and blackberry fruit balanced with the sweet-bitter notes of burnt sugar and pipe tobacco. The flavors harmonize beautifully, culminating in a finish of dark jam, coffee, and semi-sweet chocolate."
