Awards and reviews

Johnny Drum Private Stock was awarded a "double gold medal" at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the green and black labels each received a silver medal at the 2012 event. However, that was a different Private Stock than is being sold in 2016. The current Private Stock has no age statement, whereas the one that won the "double gold medal" back in 2010 had a 15-year age statement.
Food critic Morgan Murphy said "There's a rye pepper to Johnny, with vanilla-sweet overtones and a hint of cigar."
