-- Josh Raynolds Vinous - 92 points

Hardin's Creek Boston 17 year (750ml) GBU cellar Now that it has beenCritic tasting note: "On the nose, this well aged whiskey starts out sweet with chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and graham cracker coming together like a MoonPie, backed up with French toast, orange zest, and toasted wood. The sip is viscous and much more oaky, with barrel char and vanilla stepping to center stage. The sweets persist at the margins, with figs, pecans, and caramel candies adding depth beyond the whiskeys pronounced oak." Whisky Advocate
