Whiskey Review: Eight Settlers Ragtown American Whiskey

I was very surprised by this. Considering the young age and lack of distinguishing mash bill, I didn’t really have high hopes. I was neither right nor wrong. The nose on this whiskey is one of the most delicious and bizarre I’ve ever encountered. Fruity, light, bright, it didn’t really bring a base of cereal grains to mind, it was almost more like a wine. The spirit on the palate had much less of an impact, being a little too light on flavor – though the flavors that came through were good.rnrnI’ll be very, very interested in future releases of this expression, and to see if any differing factors change the output – more time in barrel, different blends, possibly a home distillation.
