Other reviews… Thin corn sweetness, nice splash of mint and cinnamon. The whiskey’s warm, but not hot, and it’s exceptionally smooth. There’s a slice of rye spice, and oaky vanilla, and the finish is clean and sweet. But it’s almost too smooth, and not gutsy enough; if Stagg is bourbon turned up to eleven, this is at about six and a half. Cedar Ridge has a great start here; now show me more. 82 points – whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Lew Bryson 2011
