Eight Settlers Devil’s Gate Bourbon review

Tasting Notes

About:

45% ABV; aged minimum 3 years; 750mL
Appearance:
Quick, even legs, light amber, partially translucent
Nose:
Rummy, cloying sweetness, cream cheese frosting, pineapple
Palate:
Unexpected considering the nose. Quite thin texture. Only a touch of the sweetness comes through, and just at the back palate.
Finish:
Comments:
The nose packed a much greater punch than the whiskey did upon drinking. I found the spirit itself to be a bit too thin and light for my taste, but it may appeal more strongly to someone starting out in the world of whiskey, or who prefers a lighter-style whiskey. I’ll be interested to see what comes forth from this distillery in the future, both with different expressions and hopefully older releases of current expressions.
