"Now this is something i will definitely be reaching for on my shelf 4.25 out of 5 stars" - The Average Drinker

"Mellow and soft on the nose, it doesn t scream rye. The palate is also soft, with notes of raisin cake and sassafras, then soft sweet chocolate; mellow and very well-integrated. Nicely balanced overall. Still soft on the finish, and with excellent balanced sweetness. This one might actually be a bit too sweet for fans of spicy ryes, but most rye lovers, and whiskey lovers in general, will like it." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (93 Points)
