Awards/Reviews:

Double Platinum – Ascot Awards 2022

“Here’s a well-executed bourbon with high levels of structure and appealing taste. Different for sure, and what a pleasant buzz.”

93 Points, Excellent/Highly Recommended – Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022

“Classic Bourbon on the nose; American oak, sweet peach, and butterscotch. It boasts a well- rounded and balanced mouthfeel with pleasing flavors of cajeta, pie crust, and marshmallow, like a gourmet Moon Pie.”

“The nose is more balanced than we last remember, with plenty of familiar cinnamon but enough sawed oak and dry tobacco notes to keep it from coming across overly spicy. Elegant as ever. On the palate, it’s honeyed and sweet with an initial wave of brown sugar and baking spice. The heat is nicely dialed in, providing the coveted “Kentucky hug.” Things soften and evolve on the mid-palate with savory pastry and stone fruit notes, peach cobbler almost, and creamy vanilla custard. The generous finish is all chewy caramels and vanilla bean with just a bit of barrel char. It’s a great bourbon, drinking maybe even better than I remember, and at a fantastic price point.” – Drinkhacker

“Nicely balanced, with candied fruit, blackberry jam, soft vanilla, kettle corn, and a kiss of mint. Pleasant, unpretentious, and uncomplicated.” – Whisky Advocate

“A truly elegant bourbon and one that I wouldn’t mind enjoying night after night.”
