The Tasting Panel Review
95 Points –The Tasting Panel Magazine, 2022
“This is a high-rye bourbon with a high proof of 107.8 that manages to not overshadow its inner beauty. It’s warm and polite on the nose, with scents of root beer, sandalwood, and baked apple. The flavors are delectable, from nutty oat and peach blossom to ginger, black cherry, and spiced tea. Notes of saddle leather come in on the mid-palate, leading up to a finish of burnt orange, vanilla, and maple.”

Compared to the Belle Mead Reserve
Wanted to see how it matched because we were told that the Belle Mead is going away ☹️.
Friends and I found it to be very good but quite different than the Belle Mead Reserve.

As an investor I feel it will be a great addition to my collection. Fairly priced, great packaging, and ease of purchase.
