Wine Enthusiast: 98 Points

Initial sniffings find aromas of sweet corn dripping with butter dark toffee and hazelnuts; later inhalations pick up notes of chocolate cake frosting cocoa beans and vanilla. Palate entry is spicy prickly and raisiny; at midpalate the taste features lead pencil slate black pepper sautéed butter and deep-seared oak. Finishes ash-like chewy and oily. American whiskey doesn't come any finer.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points

Whisky Advocate: This whiskey is still the best of the Van Winkle line. It?s crisp clean vibrant impeccably balanced and nicely matured. Complex fruit (bramble candied citrus) caramel coconut custard maple syrup fresh spice (vanilla warming cinnamon nutmeg a dusting of cocoa powder) on a bed of nougat. Outstanding!
