Tasting Notes

About:

92 proof, 100 malted barley (brewers malt), minimum four years old, heavily charred new barrels, $120-$150 for a 750mL.
Appearance:
Deep marigold.
Nose:
Sweet wild flower honey, clove, soft malt and caramel.
Palate:
Very approachable, like a cozy night in. Viscous and chalky, with note of white chocolate, vanilla, and baked red apple. A bit of baking spices, mint and licorice lead into a gentle but long finish.
Finish:
Comments:
This is a very enjoyable whiskey to drink. Sometimes it feels funny to say a thing like that, but it easily become a chore to sip a whiskey neat. This Devil’s Share American Whiskey is a soft a friendly, and well balanced. While it doesn’t create a need to keep coming back, I can hold onto it and keep coming back as I go on with whatever it is I might be doing. rnrnIt’s a nice experience that doesn’t make you think too hard, and you feel like you’ve made the right choice for your dram of the evening. The price point is a bit high, but besides that I think a very well made whiskey.
