Kristian Duncan 4.5

Store pick from Conti's Wines & Spirits 144 proof Served in a Glencairn glass after resting for 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Butterscotch with a hint of cinnamon. Palate: Flavors of baking spice and oak, accompanied by some clove and cinnamon notes. Finish: Lingering and warm. Splash: A few drops mellow the spicier notes, allowing the sweetness of the clove to emerge without being overly potent. Overall: 9/10 - My initial high-proof (hazmat) bottle purchase. Highly recommended for those who appreciate higher proof spirits.

Cayden Whitehead 4.5

Very pleasing taste and finish. A nice, solid warmth going down with a pleasant lingering flavor.

Sally Browne 4.8

It has heat, but not as much as one might expect. A pleasant finish.
