  • I like this - it's easy drinking, lacks overt complexity and slots nicely alongside Evan Williams Bottled In Bond. It's a good bourbon, not exceptional, but works nicely neat, in a cocktail or on the rocks.

  • Distiller
  • By Amanda Schuster
  • The baking spices and leather show up on the mid-palate and carry into the finish, which has a pleasant, medium burn with spice and sweetness.

  • A touch hot, a bit light, and overall a fairly, well unremarkable whiskey.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Kenji Mizumori
  • It had a touch too much oak and wanted a bit more spice. It drinks like a 12- or 15-year-old whiskey, but the blend maxes out at a nine-year.

  • By Josh Peters
  • It’s obviously warm and oaky enough to be a great sipping whiskey, but I’m really enjoying making cocktails with it.

  • This is a very inviting bourbon, of the sort that one might use to turn friends and family on to the “good stuff” for the first time.

  • By Nick
  • An exclusive product with good storytelling - but the fact remains you can find better bourbons for less.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Baking spice, vanilla bean, light roasted coffee, cinnamon and a touch of pepper. Sweet buttercream, touch of honey and a light roasty notes on the palate.

  • Taste:

    Thin to medium on the palate, sweet and caramel laced, a bit of nougat, faint apple notes and a touch of tobacco. Rising bread, some graham cracker.

  • Finish:

    Short on the finish, ginger, tobacco, cinnamon, clove and light baking spice.

  • Overall:

    I like this - it's easy drinking, lacks overt complexity, and slots nicely alongside Evan Williams Bottled In Bond. It's a good bourbon, not exceptional, but works nicely neat, in a cocktail or on the rocks.
