- Excerpt: The palate reveals more vanilla, as well as almonds, honey, toffee, and gingerbread. Chocolate, baking spice, pepper, leathery oak, and tobacco leaf complete a long, sinewy finish that shows its maturity well.

- Excerpt: This is a bourbon whiskey that I would definitely want on my bar. It is very complex and offers a lot of the flavors that I really enjoy. This is one you could go back to and pick something different out every time. If you can find it for retail, this is a solid purchase.
