  • Most will likely enjoy this on its own, which is probably for the best, but those reaching into the humidor should choose their stick carefully.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Delicious, complex and balanced nose. Browned butter, butterscotch, cake batter, grape leaves, mint, grape jelly.

  • Taste:

    Lovely viscosity. Biggest influences I notice here are rum and Armagnac. Notes of Luxardo cherry, plum and tobacco are joined by drying tannin, leather, raisin, caramel, cinnamon, anise and pepper.

  • Finish:

    The finish leans heavier on spice. Tobacco meets clove, cinnamon and black pepper.

  • Overall:

    This is phenomenal whiskey. Beautiful, layered, nuanced and delicious. Each cask finish plays a role, and they all come together for a cohesive, delicious expression One of the best whiskey releases of 2026 so far.
