Critic & Community Impressions
-
Whisky Advocate gave it 90 points. The review praised its nose of roasted five-spice and cigar smoke, its palate of peppery spice and stewed fruit, and its “hot, spicy finish with clove, tobacco, five spice.”
-
Reviewers also note this is a whisky for those who like peat and smoke more pronounced — it’s robust rather than delicate. Some balance comes from fruit and sweet oak influence.
