Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
In the bottle, the Westchester Wheat Whiskey has a lovely, light honey-amber coloration. In the glass, it’s rather thin-legged.
Nose:
The Westchester Wheat Whiskey has a subtle, fruity nose. There’s traces of honey – a nod, perhaps, to their Comb line of spirits – with a hint of banana and just the slightest whiff of peppermint. StilltheOne is vocal about their charred oak casks, but the scent of smoke is almost nonexistent.
Palate:
The flavor-profile builds with each successive dram. The first sip brings a strong – almost overpowering – wave of licorice that transitions to a somewhat harsh burn. Eventually that burn settles to a mid-tongue sweetness. Fortunately, subsequent tastes are more mellow, and the sweetness shines through more and more, merging honey with cracked pepper and a hint of brown sugar. Final Thoughts: Westchester Wheat Whiskey starts sharp and overpowering, but by the time you reach the bottom of your tumbler, you’ll have forgiven your first impressions. It’s a light whiskey; more of a summer evenings on the back porch drink than a curled up with a book by the fireplace. But for $35 a bottle, you really can’t go wrong. Score: 82/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF STILLTHEONE WESTCHESTER WHEAT WHISKEY]
