With only 5,000 cases produced, this limited allocation whiskey has a lot to live up to. Let’s explore how it fares.

Nose Brad : The nose on this is an orange bomb. There’s orange peel, but I also picked up a really intense peaches-and-cream note that I loved. There’s a bit of rose petal and some cedar woodiness. It’s pleasant, though not quite everything I want it to be. 7.5/10 . Bob : I let this sit in my glass for a while, and it went through so many changes.
