Willie Goldsmith 4.8

Lingers on the palate. The substantial proof is obvious, with sweetness and silkiness, finishing warm. It numbs a bit, this is excellent. Hints of leather and rye.

Shaina Francisco 4.5

Unbelievable, it's velvety and deep, with a wonderful complexity of flavors and a remarkably clean end.
