"Bright golden amber color. pleasant aromas of walnut nougat, hay, orange spice cake, and dried heather follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dryish medium body with creamy cereal, honeyed nut, mossy river stone, salt flake, and peppercorn notes. Finishes with a pleasant vanilla cream, mineral dust, and oak spice fade. A nice sipper."

"The nose is delicate, sweet short crust pastry. Marzipan and raspberry jam. Raisins. Oily on the palate, vaguely fruity, honeyed. Faintly herbal. Finishes more like a dessert wine than a whisky. Rich, creamy and filling. Visually, a very attractive whisky – rich amber and gloriously viscous. If my suspicions are correct, an earlier expression of this whisky reminded me of a Peshwari Nan. Must be shared and discussed with friends."

"Bright old gold color. Nuanced aromas of dried ginger, vanilla salt water taffy, cereal, and beeswax follow through on a a soft, silky entry to a dryish medium body with cream, lemongrass, and brown sugar notes. Finishes with a long, warming praline and spice fade. Excellent vibrancy of flavor and balance." Gold Medal.

"Lovely scents of sweet grains, sugared breakfast cereal and pine make for pleasing sniffing. Entry is nimble, gently sweet, almost piney and honeyed; the midpalate stage carries on with style and smoothness, as the taste profile remains steadfast and mildly sweet. Finishes with a honey thrust that’s exhilarating and delightful." 85-89 pts. Reviewed by: The Wine Enthusiast 85pts
