Awards/Reviews
96 Points, Finalist, Top 100 - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"The cask influence comes through in the aromas, showing baked plums, tangy nectarine, and toasted nuts. Supremely smooth in texture, the flavors are rich and deep with walnut and brazil nut, dried orchard fruits, and baking spice. Dark honey and tobacco round out the finish."
91 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2020
"A masterpiece of rich and buttery flavors with a caramel toffee mouthfeel and a hint of spiced peaches. Beautifully balanced, light and fresh, this is a true burst of pleasure."
91 Points - Whisky Advocate
“The nose is rich, with new leather, sultanas, dates, furniture polish, ginger, Jaffa oranges, and cloves. Silky on the palate, mandarin oranges with cream, developing toffee, milky coffee, and milk chocolate. The long finish offers nougat, dark chocolate, licorice, and light spices."
