  • It has a nice bourbon character to it, but even with water it feels a bit muted. Like it’s holding back just a wee bit.

  • Oak and leather on the finish dry out the whiskey nicely. Not the most refined bourbon, but the flavors it delivers make up for it.

  • The fruitiness takes on more of an applesauce note with a long, silky, and almost chewy finish. I think of cinnamon toast, raisin bread, pancakes and syrup. But mostly I just think of good, old Bourbon.

  • Good, and interesting - certainly happy to see it added to the Heaven Hill portfolio, but this blend needs some work to conquer the overarching heat.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Quite a bit of ethanol. Rich cocoa, cola, honey and slivered almost. Lightly fruity, heavy on the baking spice.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouth feel, though overshadowed by quite a bit of heat. Light cherry note, big brown sugar and cinnamon character, along with quite a bit of oak.

  • Finish:

    Long finish, complex but hot once again. Brown sugar, cola, pepper and a heaping helping of ethanol.

  • Overall:

    Good, and interesting - certainly happy to see it added to the Heaven Hill portfolio, but this blend needs some work to conquer the overarching heat.

  • Score:
