There's a lot to like about this whisky. There's also quite a lot not to like. The intense vanilla, caramel, mocha flavors are delicious and sustain beautifully. However, there isn't the elegance or smoothness of a great whisky. Better than most large production options at a similar price point and a worthy addition to the home bar.

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but when I do this is always my choice. The strength of whiskey is nicely balanced with honey, which you can definitely taste here! Perfect neat, or with ice or as a hot whiskey for cold weather. — 9 years ago

Shows the warm of the ‘09 vintage very well. Succulent, full, guided by its overt personality than alluring tension. Plenty of bright acid, tannins are sleek and show a musculature nature without being too dominating on the palate. Ripe black cherry, roasted strawberry, candy cap mushroom, tar, rose, licorice candy, ferns, Ceylon, ting of allspice. Very happy with how this drank, perfect for homemade Pappardelle w/braised rabbit (in Burlotto Pelaverga of course) — 7 years ago
Who knew? A fantastic blend with notes of blackberries, cocoa and heavy baking spices. The flavors are highlighted by the Smokey whiskey flavors from 18 months in the barrel with the last 6 in a jack Daniels Tennessee sour mash barrel. Totally unique and surprisingly splendid. — 9 years ago

Recommended by my customer in Alabama. He said it's what they prefer drink in the South, rather than the more commercial local brands. — 11 years ago

A sweet fruity wine from the beautiful Cumberland Plateau of East Tennessee! A friend of mine went there on vacation so now we're wine tasting! — 10 years ago
Very smooth with a good balance of salt and caramel — 10 years ago
Very well developed Nebbiolo. Nice fresh cherries. A bit tart but fine tannins and a long finish that makes you think... I want to go back to Italy! Paired with homemade eggplant marinara sauce. — 11 years ago
Home sweet home. A little nuttiness, lighter than a bourbon due to the charcoal filtration. Greener than most whiskeys for those who have a sweet tooth. — 13 years ago
