87 / 100
At four years old, with new American oak named plainly, this has a clear oak-led thread: rich and toasted oak on the nose, seared oak and oak spice on the palate, then barrel char and baking spice to close. Caramel, vanilla and toffee keep that structure rounded rather than all timber and paperwork. It’s a warmly layered Bonded Tennessee whiskey; the cask detail feels relevant without asking it to explain every flavour.
