Tasting Notes

About:

95 proof (47.5% ABV) Mash Bill: 60% corn, 20% heirloom wheat, 10% heirloom rye, and 10% malted barley.
Appearance:
Gold
Nose:
The nose is quite earthy with hay and dried apricot. It also has warming notes of vanilla, cinnamon and honey.
Palate:
Oak and vanilla are firstly noted with tobacco and pepper emerging next. It is a lot spicier than expected with the flavor of cinnamon candies and allspice. The finish is smooth and creamy with orange essence.
Finish:
Comments:
This is not a calm whiskey and definitely has an edgy flavor composition. The taste of this fiery drink is perfectly in tune with the rugged outdoor presence of a Colorado mountaineer and less the relaxed demeanor of a weekender in Aspen. rnrnI like a bold whiskey and though this one is a little on the experimental side I think does its job nicely. I would steer clear if you are a bourbon lover who avoids ryes. This one has quite a bit of spice.
