Dale Pullen 4.8 November 2021

An unusual peanut journey accompanied by baking spice notes. Remarkably smooth considering its potency, this is a favored spirit in my home bar.

How the score is built

4.67 is the plain average of 4 reviews.

The 3.88 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
