What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2024
The nose offers ripe peaches, cherry Italian ice, pronounced but balanced oak influence, musty antique store, incense, and dry ashiness. … A unified, deep, and pleasurable dram, gentle but filled with complex flavor combinations.

The nose is all tinned peach, tropical fruit juice, and baked banana, with a surprising green celery note, coconut, and sherbet. The palate is silky, with some chocolate, biscuity oak, and orange blossom honey. … The grain revolution builds.
Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The palate is full of American whiskey flavors like vanilla, coconut, and maple, but the malt gives the whisky a balance that allows the whisky to not be oily and overly sweet.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
