95 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$45 list] Sip or mix this Tennessee beauty. It has a maple hue and a boozy but gorgeous aroma, mixing caramel and burnt orange peel. Those flavors are reflected on the supersoft palate, finishing long on drying notes of cocoa, spice, vanilla and orange peel. Alcohol 43%. (Mar 2016)"
***** Highest Recommendation, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Brilliant, impeccable clean topaz/honey color. The initial whiffs pick up subtle notes of hazelnut, wax paper, and lime; another seven minutes of air contact release attractive accents of peanut butter, citrus peel, unsalted butter, and a delicate spiciness that's hidden way in the aromatic depths. The palate entry showcases the peanut quality found in the nose, but ads a delicate touch of charred oak; at midpalate the taste profile becomes more bacon fat-like and smoky, with nuances of palm oil, nut paste, and cream. Nicely done all the way."
Wine Spectator: "[$46 list] (style: classic - sweet corn and vanilla) An extremely well-integrated nose makes it tough to tease out cornflakes and light, dry cocoa. Powerful yet mild flavors of corn, leather and fine milk chocolate ramp up to a hot, woody climax that fades to oak and caramel. It's big and intense, yet smooth and refined. 86 proof. (1/31/12)"
