Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
This spirit is a bright yellow, golden haystack color, thin with tight legs.
Nose:
Intense aromas of vanilla, dry haystack, caramel, buttered popcorn, red hots, and burned sugar cane. Smells much like a rum, instead of whiskey.
Palate:
This whiskey was designed to be smooth, with creamed corn, buttered caramel corn, molasses, hay, vanilla, and stale cinnamon all competing in the sweet spirit. It finishes with a lingering charred sugarcane flavor. Final Thoughts and Score: This sweet whiskey is not made for whiskey drinkers. It’s so smoothly and sweet, it really drinks like rum. Plus the ashy charcoal and charred sugar flavor isn’t well integrated and gratingly lingers on the finish. I wouldn’t recommend it, except as a novelty.
