Awards/Reviews:
Platinum - Ascot Awards 2022
"Torched caramel, vanilla, orange and chocolate nose leads to flavors of chocolate and graham cracker, but is not overly sweet. Closes with a pleasant and peppery finish."
Double Gold - SIP Awards 2022
94 Points -The Tasting Panel Magazine, 2022
“Aromas of shortcake, nougat, and spiced orange unwrap with each nosing. A well-mannered entry of toffee and peach pie glide in its silky body. The hint of key lime and chocolate-covered cherries keep the palate busy with a hedonistic deliciousness. Mid-palate notes of egg cream and maple pecan lead to prickly pepper on the finish, which is softened by disarming notes of oak at Pekoe tea.”
93 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"The inviting aromas of ripe nectarine, cherry blossom, and sweet spice take the lead on the nose. The palate shows more spice-driven notes of white peppercorns, rye bread, and roasted vanilla beans. Hints of honey and green tea leaves come through on the finish."
"This is a breakfast buffet for the nose, as buttery blueberry pancakes, maple syrup, cinnamon-sugar toast, and Krispy Kreme donuts waft up from the glass. The palate brings some heat, further supplemented by black pepper and cinnamon spice, with just a touch of chocolate. Add water, and jammier notes emerge: raisins, raspberry preserves, and jelly donut. A hot finish takes this one home, sending you off with a blast of Big Red gum." - Whisky Advocate
Best Bourbons Under $50 - Breaking Bourbon
"While traditional notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak can be found throughout, it's the whiskey’s fruitier notes that help elevate this rye bourbon from being simply a standard fare. Leaning sweet throughout makes it an easy sipper even though it surprises you with an unexpected dash of pepper that lingers during its finish. The bourbon works because it leans on its classic side just enough while bringing something exciting to the mix in the form of its tropical fruit note. If you’re looking for a bourbon that will appeal to a broad range of drinkers that leans sweet and is an easy sipper overall, you can’t go wrong with what Nelson Brothers Classic Bourbon offers. Don’t overlook this hidden gem."
