Hardin's Creek Boston 17 year (750ml) Freeman Cayuse Cellar 96 points Robert ParkerCritic 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
