Ultimate Beverage Challenge 98 points - This barrel-proof bourbon packs a potent blast of vanilla, sweet tobacco and campfire while behind the drama a pleasantly understated mineral quality helps the whole experience soften out in fresh leather finish. Stone fruits and sugared blackberries also lend the experience depth and potency, with every sip a new layer is uncovered. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation).April/2019

Whisky Advocate 95 points - This offers up warming ginger, candied orange, and wisps of furniture polish. The lavish and leathery oak flavors are apparent but don’t overwhelm the abundance of zippy, bright citrus-orange oil and yuzu-as the palate unleashes wave upon wave of spices that keep you guessing where it will head next. In the end, more lingering ginger and dusty cocoa. Reviewed by: Jeffery Lindenmuth (Winter 2018).January/2019

This extremely hearty whiskey ages in new charred oak barrels for no less than 15 years. Straight out of the barrel, uncut and unfiltered, the taste is powerful, flavorful and intense. Open it up with a few drops of water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe.
