A complex and smooth bourbon with notes of caramel, nuts, and spices. The finish is long and warming, making it perfect for special occasions.
Marianne T. –
Loved the citrusy and fruity flavors with hints of orange marmalade. It’s balanced and not overly sweet, but the alcohol presence is a bit strong.
Robbie L. –
It’s the perfect balance of oak and sweet honey. I get a little minty finish, which adds a refreshing layer to the rich flavors.
Laura G. –
Has a musty, woody smell which I didn’t expect, but the taste is mellow with citrus and honey tones. Not overpowering and enjoyable.
Dan R. –
Smooth as silk. It’s like drinking a liquid caramel candy, with a bit of walnut and spice. The finish is delicate but lingers.
Michelle W. –
For the price, I expected a bit more. The oaky tones dominated, but the aftertaste is refreshingly citrusy. Worth trying, but not my favorite.
Timothy H. –
Very rich and smooth with hints of dried fruits, toffee, and spices. The balance is incredible, especially at 12 years.
Carter P. –
Best bourbon I’ve had in a while. It’s creamy, with deep caramel notes, and a faint spice kick. Feels luxurious.

Lovely bourbon. The mix of orange, nuts, and honey is captivating. It’s not too sweet and has a nice, warm finish.
