Wine Enthusiast 90 points - Finished in craft beer barrels, this quaffable whiskey offers a bright topaz hue and bracing tropical fruit and grapefruit peel notes. Almond, bitter chocolate and clove tones linger on the exhale. Sip or mix. March/2019

Whisky Advocate 90 points - Hoppy notes cloaking the crisp grains, green apple, and pomelo make for a happier marriage than its stout sibling. This is one of those whiskeys that continuously evolves in the mouth, progressing from a sweet, syrupy beginning of coconut macaroons, apple, and spices, to a creamier plateau of citrus, stewed fruits, and chocolate. It departs leaving the tongue weighted down with peppery spice and cooked apple. Unexpectedly delicious. Value pick Reviewed by: Jonny McCormick (Spring 2018). April/2018
