I had the pleasure of trying this exceptional whisky, and it’s unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Founded by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and crafted by the award-winning Dr. Bill Lumsden, this whisky delivers on every level. The complexity of rye perfectly blends with the elegance of malted barley, while the Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finish adds a unique touch of sophistication.
From the moment you pour, you’re greeted with a deep copper hue that promises richness. The aroma is a masterful blend of tangy Seville oranges, sun-kissed raisins, and warm spices like clove, cinnamon, and ginger, all rounded out with luxurious hints of Demerara sugar and toffee.
The taste is an absolute delight—rich and buttery toffee at the forefront, followed by a perfect balance of cinnamon, clove, and classic rye spices. A subtle malty, biscuity note keeps it smooth, with a vibrant citrus kick on top. The finish is soft and lingering, leaving behind honeyed hints and the fruity sweetness of plump sultanas and ripe cherries.
At 44% ABV, this whisky is smooth yet complex, luxurious yet approachable. If you’re looking to reimagine whisky, this is the one to try. Simply phenomenal!
