Raided Score: 91WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie The finish is long with subtle spices and hints of red grapes and plums. Nice balance and complexity. Read Full Review Raided Score: 95Drinkhacker By Robert Lublin The finish is quite long with its robust rye character fading to a final note of dark chocolate. This is a full bodied dram with lots going on, and the flavors blend beautifully. Read Full Review Raided Score: 75The Daily Pour By t8ke Not bad, but malty, a bit of new make and the ol berry.
