"I’ve tasted quite a few standout, French oak-aged bourbons this year, and this ranks among the best. Pity there are only 1500 bottles to go around, but perhaps keeping this one separate from the Cask Finish Series means that we’ll see more of it in the future. Fingers crossed." - Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (95 Points)
"The nose is fruity and aromatic, with notes of grape jelly, caramel, sandalwood, and cocoa. The medium-heavy weight palate is similarly fruity, but the spices spreading out through the palate expand to ginger, coriander, cinnamon, clove, and cardamom. Flavors or marzipan and tonka bean (vanilla and preserved cherry with a subtle florality) play into the complex, well structured finish." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (92 Points)
