"Burnished gold in color this Bourbon brings a melange of aromas to the nose: honey vanilla oak toffee and a suggestion of coriander are all there. The body is big and on the palate this becomes a very spicy masculine whiskey with a complex spicy mustiness and notes of leather tobacco overripe oranges and a surprising smokiness not often found in a Bourbon." 93 Points Wine Enthusiast 2009 SF Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal
