Appearance:
Outryder is a medium copper in the glass, forming quick, fat tears.
Nose:
This whiskey is sweetly fragrant and buttery, also powerfully spicy like sandalwood and cinnamon disks. There’s a floral undercurrent of garden roses and fresh cut grass. As it rests, butterscotch dominates.
Palate:
On the palate, it’s allspicy and sweet, with an apple cider freshness. Big stone fruit blooms on the mid-palate; toffee and black tea on the back.
Finish:
Comments:
Wyoming Whiskey Outryder is downright delicious. They keep releasing little caches of it, and the extra time this one spent in barrel was worth it. Would that this review sample was more than a promotional flask!
