Not for the faint of heart at 113 proof. This one gets an ice cube. Dusty and earthy, dried apricot, camphor, and big oak. Toffee on the finish.

Grabbed this bottle just over a year ago and been enjoying the carmel, mild oak, and smooth flavors. Definitely one I would have again. — 8 years ago

Amber color with medium legs. Very pronounced aromas of peet, freshly cut grass, and the smell of a beach bonfire the morning after! Secondary notes of vanilla and toasted oak and even a bit of rubber. On the palate, integrated alcohol with very smooth mouthfeel. Finish is medium + with delightful aftertaste. — 10 years ago

I’ve never had a swing of opinion larger that this. I originally rated this 6.2 and panned it (below). I just stuck this in the back of my bar and forgot about it for months. When I rediscovered it, it (or maybe I) was totally different. Complex, luscious with a long finish and amazing flavors or spice, vanilla, oak, brown sugar and rosemary. It’s a miracle!!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: This just sucks, I guess? Multiple tries over a week and all I get is charcoal and copper. Like, if you took a bottle of Jack Daniels, put 50 pennies in it and left it in a closet for 6 months…you would have this whiskey. Bizarre and terrible. — 4 years ago

Dude. Duuuuude. Duuuuuuuuuuuude. This is the smoothest bourbon I've ever tasted. Tied the Belle Meade but this one set me back quite a bit more. Toasty. Structured. Delicious. Viscous. Honeysuckle on the front, going to very toasted oak with a definite maturity. @Jason Brater good stuff!! — 7 years ago

Burnished copper. Aromas of maple syrup, toasted oak, almond, dried fruits, and cherry liquor. Flavors echo the above, plus malted cereal and rum-soaked raisins. Long, very complex finish. — 10 years ago

Smooth...vanilla and warm spices definitely linger around. Very pleased with the oak, not overpowering for a 20 year old bourbon. Enjoy neat or a couple drops of water — 11 years ago

Beautiful honey-amber color in the glass. Nose is a little hot with airplane glue and spice. Palate is much softer, still warm though with oak and loads of vanilla and spice. Nice neat, better with a few drops of spring water. — 11 years ago

Exactly what I wanted, top shelf, beautiful apple floral, fruit, bark… a lot was captured in the distilling.

Nose,: Large, bright, clean, fresh apple, sweet cider, apple tree bark, rocks, soil.

Palette: Palette cleansing alcohol, followed with notes of fresh cider Apples, apple wood and oak, back palette predominate.

Medium finish

Used for in onions with light crushed anise seed for Moroccan spiced brisket, Apple & Honey Sangria, apples & date stuffed challah, as well as enjoyed on its own.

Pretty complex. At first sip, you get a little bit of sweetness and dried fruits, then quickly get the smokey oak and leather and finishes with a hit of spiciness. Smooth, but not as smooth as you'd think a 20 year would be. But considering all things, I'll still be drinking this. Really cool story behind the distillery too! — 11 years ago
