"With a high-wheat mash bill and no rye to be found, this lovely five-year-old bourbon shows all the sweet stone fruit and warm honey that you'd hope for. A gentle sweep of vanilla-tinged cereal notes provides a terrific counterpoint to subtle maple flavors. This is a beautifully crafted first release from the brand..." - Brian Freedman, Tasting Panel Magazine, March 2025
