Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
The brew has a medium chestnut color in a mildly stout, cylindrical bottle that merges modern aesthetics with an antique feel.
Nose:
The nose is best described as “wood cabin on the coast.” The aroma evokes a pleasant, nostalgic feeling of being in a woodshe, mixed with chocolaty notes and a hint of briny ocean spray at the end.
Palate:
Much like the nose, the taste is very wood-forward and oaky. Unlike the nose, the sweeter flavors of the corn come out in the palate. The interaction between the barley and the casks creates a bourbon with an almost Scotch-like flavor palate. Final Thoughts: 5 Drops Bourbon embodies the best of what local craft distilling has to offer. This bottle is a key example of happens when savvy business decisions meet customer demand. It’s a great pick for those interested in understanding what’s going on in the Montana whiskey scene, and a unique opportunity to try an excellent whiskey made with unique locally sourced ingredients. Score: 84/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF WILDRYE DISTILLING FIVE DROPS BOURBON]
