Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Wyoming Whiskey Single Barrel appears honey-caramel in the glass with weak legs. Given the approximate age, the color seems a touch on the lighter end of the spectrum as compared to other similarly aged bourbons, which may be due to aging in Wyoming.
Nose:
Strong earthy and nutty notes dominate the aroma, with light hints of the classic bourbon notes like butterscotch and vanilla. Overall, the nose is pretty light and simple.
Palate:
Cereal grains jump out on the front with the first drink, along with light notes of citrus and brown sugar. The finish lingers for a moderate duration and has herbal, slightly bitter notes that overtake the sweeter notes of the front-palate. Final Thoughts: Wyoming Whiskey Single Barrel Bourbon is a nice addition to the lineup for Wyoming Whiskey. For a craft distiller, the apparent age of the whiskey and the use of large format barrels puts the Wyoming Whiskey Single Barrel Bourbon a step above many of the other craft bourbon labels available. However, the light flavor left me thinking that a higher proof would have been welcomed. Wyoming Whiskey has a barrel-strength limited offering that I think would be the best format for this bourbon. Score: 82/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF WYOMING WHISKEY SINGLE BARREL BOURBON]
