“All in all, this is a very cool experiment, one that highlights what bourbon might be like with bolder or more subtle contributions from the corn as the backbone of the bourbon whiskey flavor profile. Classic bourbon lovers may prefer the greater richness of the Yellow Leaming, where I expect the Blue Clarage may appeal more to those who want the high-rye profile to peak through a bit more assertively.” – Jim Vorel, Paste Magazine
“At once toasty, grassy, and sweet, the nose is rich and complex — sweet but with an undercurrent of barbecue spice rub. Everything coalesces far more cleanly on the palate, showcasing peanut brittle, baking spice, and a savory, pumpernickel bread note. Slightly smoky on the palate, with notes of cocoa powder and some graphite, moving slowly into that inimitable chocolate-meets-peanut putter Reese’s quality.” – Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)
