Redwood Empire Foggy Burl Single Malt Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

American single malt made from seven different malts and drawn from toasted and char three barrels of 100% malted barley; bottled at 99 proof; priced at $100.
Appearance:
This whiskey has a nice orange-brown glow in the glass, delivering thinner legs and lighter viscosity.
Nose:
The richness of the multiple malt types immediately appears on the nose, delivering aromatics of banana bread, baking spice, roasted almonds, and butterscotch pudding.
Palate:
This one is all about the malted barley in the mouth, delivering a powerful punch of baked bread the moment it hit my palate. Toasted almonds, baking spice, cinnamon, cardamom, and dried figs accompany this.
Finish:
This finishes punchy and sharp, leaving a slight bitterness underscored by a hint of sweetness as it fades off slowly.
Comments:
This is an expressive American single malt, there is no doubt. I’m not entirely mesmerized by it, however. I find it a little over malt-forward, wanting a little more roundedness in the glass.
