Doug Box 5.0 February 2019

Mild oak, vanilla, cream, and exotic fruits, along with some white pepper spice. Very easy to drink. Purchased on sale for $100. It's been discontinued since 2010 and commands a premium if found.

How the score is built

4.67 is the plain average of 3 reviews.

The 3.85 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.
