Craig Carrillo 4.0

The smell has cherry, sugar, and a lot of wood. It has a deep caramel hue. A very slight initial warmth fades fast. Flavors of corn, sugar, fruit, and some wood on the tongue. Well-balanced, but the experience is brief.

Norris Harvey 3.0

Overflowing with vanilla! If you enjoy vanilla, grab a bottle! Lingering smoky wood on the aftertaste. Definitely a sweet delight.

Sharon Manuel 4.0

Starts with loads of creamy vanilla, then a spicy kick follows. Very easy to consume.

Aden Sellers 3.0

A bit too strong. Could use some mellowing. The flavor and smell are good.

Jenny Groves

Purchased in Portland for my 2014 birthday. Paid $60 on December 12, 2014.

Rachel Park 3.0

Wood and cherry notes, crisp for a bourbon, not too heavy.
