Stuart Calvillo 2.5

It's hard to believe I'm tasting the same whiskey as some others. It reminds me somewhat of the awful Brenne whiskey I tried, which had a cotton candy-like flavor. This is really not good. It's a sweet, artificial chai latte spiced whiskey. The ethanol and flavor are well-balanced, but wow, I really do not like this. If you're someone who enjoys a sweet chai latte, you might love this, but not me.

Nathanael Koenig 4.5

Masterfully crafted. The aroma is rich and complex with lovely hints of tropical fruits and subtle notes of baking spices mingling with the dominant oak and malt characteristics. The palate offers a deeper, more intricate expression of similar notes alongside a more pronounced malt foundation. The finish is warm and gradually fades with fruity and spicy notes.

Kendrick Julian 5.0

Excellent spirit with hints of vanilla, honey, caramel, butterscotch, floral, citrus, tropical fruit, and white chocolate, along with a smooth, creamy texture.

Kari Hester 4.0

Mango and pineapple on the nose, with rich, oily oranges on the palate. This is a delightful tropical experience. A whisky for those who enjoy lassi.
