Tasting Notes

About:

Boulder Spirits American Single Malt Whiskey’s motto is emblazoned on its label: Leave No Trace. This whiskey, however, has most definitely made its mark and will be leaving a trace. From its bold, handsome bottle design, to its strong offering, it’s not one to be overlooked.
Appearance:
Amber Beer
Nose:
Roasted chestnuts atop an open syrup barrel.
Palate:
Honey chased by black pepper first thing that hits you. Followed by grilled asparagus, green grass, raisins. Next a brief dive through a plum dessert before landing on a light oak pad. The oak presence is present, but interestingly without its darker notes.
Finish:

Strong astringency without a bourbon’s sweet corn cover.

Comments:
Boulder Spirits has produced a super clean-tasting whiskey using 10% local Colorado malt and aged in white oak barrels at a 3 char. There is no age statement, but the label does state it is at least 4 years old, I look forward to trying it again after it has been given more time to mature.
