- Raided Score: 100
- Publication: The Whiskey Wash
- Excerpt: Deep and rich classic bourbon profile (oak, vanilla, caramel) with unique tones around each corner (candy, walnuts), and cask strength. The mouthfeel and depth of flavor are dialed in, and it would be very easy to drink this down very quickly.
