Tasting Notes

About:

Mash Bill: 100% Antero Wheat. Single barrel and single malt. 106 proof (53% ABV). No age statement.
Appearance:
Honey
Nose:
Leather, slate and smoke are forward with warming notes of vanilla pudding, freshly baked cinnamon rolls and Mexican hot chocolate.
Palate:
The palate is rich with sweet treats. Butterscotch sundae, glazed doughnut and salted caramel give way to charcoal smoke with a thick mouthfeel. The finish is medium length and stings with salt and pepper.
Finish:
Comments:
Overall this is a fine and flavorful whiskey. The flavor profiles were a bit sweeter than I was expecting and significantly more so than the distillery’s Heirloom Wheat offering. This is perfect for toasting and slow sipping and something that I would gladly add to my collection and even buy on a regular basis if it were available in my state. rn
