A very fragrant Whiskey with scents of fresh grass and spring flowers with touches of candied almonds, mango, and a faint coconut impression. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose being youthful while lush and generous with flavors of baked orchard fruits that become quite dry and a bit green on the finish. A very good value. $19.99 – 3 Stars

Pale golden color. The nose is filled with Whiskey notes as opposed to a heavy dose of wood notes. It’s quite complex and very pleasing offering scents of wild flowers, vanilla. orange honey, shortbread, and Bourbon. The palate is in full agreement with the nose being dry with a mild, sweet smoke accent. An interesting Whiskey but at this price few will be tempted to own a bottle. $100 – 3 Stars

Bright copper color. The nose is remarkably similar to the classic Tully with the difference being made in its concentration.

Bright copper color with touches of gold. The nose is soft, pretty and seductive with scents of grain, fresh baked bread, spearmint, orange, and spring flowers. The palate is equally soft with a bit of an oily character to add length and texture. The sweet malt really shows thought with accents of vanilla. It’s a very pretty Whiskey that has always been a sentimental favorite of mine. $17.99 – 3 Stars
