Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Spice predominates initially, both sweeter baking spices like cinnamon and ginger and hot, savory black pepper. Some dark fruit is also noticeable. After a few minutes in the glass, I noticed a chewy umami undertone, almost like soy sauce.
Palate:
Fairly spice-forward, but not hot on the palate like a rye. The palate is somewhat sweeter than the nose, with butterscotch and brown sugar notes. On the finish, spice is followed by brown sugar, then fades to wood. It’s warm and pleasant, with the barest hint of pepperiness. Conclusion: Greenbar’s cocktail-friendly approach is in evidence here, and this is an approachable, well-balanced whiskey. A nice range of flavors are present, but nothing hits you over the head. Although I’d be perfectly happy to sip it neat, this is obviously a whiskey that plays well with others. Loads of creative recipes can be found on Greenbar’s website, but I’d stick to basics: to me, this whiskey seems tailor-made for a Manhattan. FINAL SCORE: 86/100
