93 points The Tasting Panel: "Matured in oloroso Sherry casks and American oak. Beautifully integrated flavors of white fruit with notes of cinnamon and allspice on a lingering, oak-laced finish. (Sep 2014)"
Wine Spectator: "Spicy. A titan born of Bourbon and oloroso casks, with something for everyone. A big nose of honey, leather and dried apple turns to spice, cinnamon and licorice in the mouth, becoming toasty. The great billowing, blossoming finish features lots of sweetness and nuttiness. (2/28/11)"
Exceptionally smooth and mellow with notes of oak, apple and cinnamon. Matured in the finest Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, and then married in small batches for remarkable depth and complexity. Gold Medal-Best in Class, 2006, International Wine & Spirit Competition.
**** Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "The bronze/honey color is immensely appealing and bright under the lamp; flawless purity. In the first couple of minutes after the pour, the nose emits tightly wound aromas of light caramel and unsweetened baker's chocolate; following another seven minutes of aeration, the bouquet turns slightly baked and caramelized, offering succulent fragrances of maple, old saddle leather, apricot pastry, and banana nut bread. The palate entry is supple, semisweet, and mildly honeyed; the midpalate stage features seriously delectable flavors of coconut, peach cobbler, and dark caramel. Concludes with beany notes of coffee and cocoa. A terrific malt."
Quarterly Review of Wines: "A fragrant malt, with good body, easy peat, and lingering mellowness. The finish is not particularly firm or long, but is delicious and very satisfying. (Spring 2008)"
