Dead Guy Whiskey Stout Cask Finished review

Tasting Notes

About:

100% malted barley, 97 proof (48% ABV).
Appearance:
Deep auburn.
Nose:
Fruity and sweet with bright notes of citrus, along with notes of slightly salted caramel, sweet juicy pears, and cherries.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Despite some initial sweet notes on the nose, this whiskey has a complex and robust flavor profile that leans more towards savory than sweet. It has a mature flavor profile that presents a better return on the palate than it does on the nose when it comes to depth of character. It’s a solid sipper offering a long finish with a lingering spiciness on the fore that deepens nicely on the back end.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
