95 The Whisky Advocate

Possibly the world’s first “hazmat” rum-fin- ished whiskey, and it delivers big on flavor. Rum sweetness, brown sugar, rice pudding and honey on the very fragrant and balanced nose. Richly sweet on the palate, and it holds the proof remarkably well, with melon, honey, and honeyed toast. The finish is long, sweet, flavorful, and balanced by ashy dry oak and pepper spice. Amazingly fresh and flavor packed at such a powerful proof.
