  • This one really killed the Four Roses, head to head. And yet it seems that it is/was cheaper. Life is a drag.

Raided Score is a conversion from an external site's score, to our in house uniform scoring system. Please see the FAQ for more.

  • Nose:

    Ethanol and cherries. Honey and molasses and a weird Dr. Pepper / Cola note. Ive always wondered whether people truly got this note in whiskey but bam, here it is. Cherries are huge.

  • Taste:

    Thick like Mrs. Butterworths goods. Oaky and vanilla heavy, its hot but that was expected. Molasses and more cherries, more cola and a big whallop of maple.

  • Finish:

    Long, and hot. Lots of rich flavor though. Every note from nose to palate is here and its just overpowering. In a good way.

  • Overall:

    I'd hate to become wordy. We have people for that. Its excellent, it's big, bold and pulls no punches. Hot, delicious and rich.

  • Score:
