Tasting Notes

About:

A blend of District Made Rye Whiskey with a barrel of the finest 14-year-old high-rye bourbon. One Eight Distilling. Bottled at barrel proof. 122 proof. Untitled No 18 Whiskey is a distillery exclusive for $80. Color: Deep gold
Appearance:
Nose:
In this whiskey sample I found it to be floral, fruity and grassy with hints of vanilla, plum, and cherry. There was a touch of turpentine. Untitled Whiskey 18 is both sweet and strong.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
To me any barrel strength whiskey seems to lose some complexity in nose and palate from the strong heat. I like to add a bit of water but that does change the flavors slightly to be sweeter, in my opinion. Untitled Whiskey 18 is a bit too strong for me with a bitter bite especially in the finish. I thought it had a very great opening sweetness and a nice, rich, and warm mouthfeel.rnrnThis whiskey is very smooth to drink with or without water. Barrel strength seems to be a preference that you either like or dislike, so I end this review by saying it’s not usually my cup of tea. The flavors are good but I think I would prefer something with less outdoor flavors of wood, leather and leaves.
