WhistlePig CampStock Wheat Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

A WhistlePig wheat/rye whiskey blend influenced by a Solo Stove Bonfire toasted barrel finish. It is bottled at 86 proof and priced at $74.99.
Appearance:
A typical golden-amber color profile exists in the glass for this whiskey, supported by light legs and viscosity.
Nose:
There’s a subtle sweetness on the upfront portion of the aromatics for this expression, with just a slight hint of smoke underneath. Other consideration notes include green apple, caramel, a smidge of peanut butter, oak, and a subtle cut grass.
Palate:
The toasted barrel finish is notable upfront here, with a slight smoky thing on the palate. It is joined by a bit of an oily feel alongside other notes of caramel, black pepper bitterness, a kiss of oak, some warm vanilla, toasted almonds and a back bone of green apple.
Finish:
The finish on this is underwhelming, leaving a slightly bitter, slightly smoky kick that lasts longer than it should.
Comments:
The concept of WhistlePig CampStock Wheat Whiskey is undoubtedly a neat partnership with Solo Stove with regard to creativity and product design. However, the whiskey is just ok – not incredibly exciting on the palate nor extremely dull either. In general, it left me wanting more.
