Whiskey Review: Onyx Moonshine Secret Stash – Private Barrel

This is a very unusual spirit. Onyx primarily makes un-aged whiskey, and the small barrels used here contributed quite an intensity of flavor to the blank canvas it was given. However, this bottling is over-oaked, and is so intensely woody and medicinal that it almost creates a port-like finish. rnrnI also understand the expense of doing a project like this, but the price is completely off the mark in terms of quality here. I would rate this slightly lower if it wasn’t for the way it will forcefully engage the drinker. Recommended with a couple of drops of water.
