"Opening nose hints of pine tar, dark caramel and maple syrup with subtle notes of brown sugar and honey. Palate entry has a silk texture; at midpalate there’s a minor explosion of dried fruit and chocolate cherry flavor. Concludes quiet and mild. Best Buy." 85-89 pts.

"Brilliant copper color. Creamy white chocolate nut fudge, dried cherry, delicate herb, and spice aromas over a layer of mellow whisky. A silky entry leads to a graceful, moderately sweet medium-full body of raw honey, chocolate-covered oranges and cherries, cinnamon, and vibrant herbs and medicinal barks. Finishes in a nice palate cleansing wash of dried citrus peels, honey, and herbs with a breath of whisky. A well styled liqueur."

"Owns a peculiar bouquet reminiscent of turkey dressing. Palate entry is sweet, ripe and grapey, a complete 180-degree turn from the odd bouquet; midpalate highlights the sweet, fruity ripeness to the point where it starts to resemble grappa. Finish is delightfully sweet, polished and elegant." 90-95 pts.
