"The rich, buttery nose has strong hints of raisins and honey. The big, soft body presents a complex, yet very easy palate with a veil of flavors that includes vanilla, honey, oranges, sweet butter and a well-balanced backdrop of old leather and just a hint of spice. The finish is long, warm and very smooth."

"Nose - Aroma with delightful strands of exotic fruit and honey. Fruit cake. Oak adds to feeling of class. Palate - Lush, pleasingly deep and malty. A firm nuttiness adds extra oily, chewability to the toffee. Finish - Drier than of old. Caramel toffee with the oak guarantees a bittersweet edge. Comments - An old faithful of a bourbon. Never lets you down and being from the wheaty school always shows good oak balance. Nose is to die for." - Jim Murray, Whisky Magazine, Issue 10 |
