Glenn Givens 3.8 April 2020

Whiskey finished in Madeira casks often appeals to me. It tends to be more well-rounded and balanced than its Burgundy counterpart. However, I have experienced better examples.

How the score is built

3.88 is the plain average of 2 reviews.

The 3.76 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.
