What the experts say

Jim Murray - Sophisticated…. a must for lovers of the driest of dry martinis. An assortment of ultra-lightly peated notes peeking out from a chalky grapiness. It’s oak all the way with a layering of cocoa powder.

Jim Murray Whisky Bible score - 85.5%

Paul Pacult - Entry taste showcases keen baking spices, in particular, nutmeg, as well as dried fruits, like prunes, raisins, and figs; midpalate stage is especially seductive for its tightly-knit flavor profile in which all the facets, the resiny oak, the acids, the dried fruits, the nuttiness, and the oiliness work in harmony. Concludes semisweet, coconut-like, biscuity, and stunningly sophisticated. Remarkable, admirable integration.
