"Whiskey first, flavoring second in this bottle. The alcohol presence comes through early on the nose and palate (it's 90 proof, after all), followed by undercurrents of maple and vanilla. It finishes with flourishes of spice and heat, with a welcome orange-peel note. If you're seeking a quality flavored Bourbon that will stand up to mixing, here it is." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine "Amber copper color. Aromas and flavors of warm maple nut fudge and maple syrup on singed buckwheat pancakes with a satiny, fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a snappy chocolate mint cookie, smoked nut, pepper, and mineral accented finish. Tasty." —Beverage Testing Institute Gold, 2014 International Review of Spirits
