Tasting Notes

About:

45% ABV, 90 proof. Merced rye and sweet potato neutral spirit blend. 750mL $40 to $50.
Appearance:
Medium amber/rosin.
Nose:
A mixture of bubblegum, faint nail polish remover, and tobacco.
Palate:
A dulled spiciness and ultra light, soft mouthfeel really define this whiskey. At first it tastes like a Thanksgiving candied yam dish, but once that dissipates only strong vegetal notes linger. There is a sourness, like a loaf of sourdough, that is present with each sip. It’s mildly sweet, and more reminiscent of a bourbon rather than a rye. There are no complex qualities or layers in the profile; the flavor is gone about thirty seconds after swallowing.
Finish:
Comments:
Corbin Cash Blended Whiskey is sippable and mixable. While there isn’t really a “wow” factor, I would recommend it for people wanting to get into rye. It’s an easy starter, especially with bourbon fans, since the spiciness that is typical with rye is extremely mild.
