Raided Score: 86WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie The finish has notes of butterscotch and vanilla with just a hint of oak. It’s a little harsher than current whiskies, but still represents the period well — and is worth trying for that reason alone. Read Full Review Raided Score: 76Whisky Advocate By John Hansell I’m happy for the celebration, but a bit disappointed with the whisky. Read Full Review Raided Score: 75Drinkhacker By Christopher Null The body is thick, burly, and racy, a frontier style whiskey that makes no bones about its brash, in-your-face character.

House Review
Nose:
Sweet honey, caramel, cotton candy. Clover, grassiness, toffee and confectioners sugar. Banana candy and light, faintly floral essence.
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, sweet toffee, confectioners sugar. Faint pepper, surprisingly oaky, and overall a very sweet dram.
Finish:
Medium length, grassy essence returns, lots of toffee and sweet caramel.
Overall:
This was really shockingly enjoyable. It is perhaps a bit too sweet, but still very enjoyable nonetheless.
