Tasting Notes

About:

Batch #2. 100% heirloom malted barley grown on Henry Road. Over five years in new 53-gallon charred oak barrels. 100 proof. Denver, Colorado.
Appearance:
Burnished copper in color. I enjoy the square bottle shape and clean label design as well.
Nose:
The nose was quite interesting on this whiskey. It was sweet and fruity with a natural twist. I found sawdust, resin, alfalfa, green apple, raisin, prunes, and rich umami.
Palate:
The palate was a bit different then the nose but equally interesting. I detected notes of fir, tannins, figs, raisin, and resin. There’s also a saccharine finish.
Finish:
Comments:
I found this to be a great fall whiskey that trails into winter. I do think it’s more of a cool weather whiskey then the warmer months. It’s rich and fruity but very pleasant. If you liked those boxes of raisins as a kid, then this is the whiskey for you! It’s the adult raisin box. Now, if only we could pack this in our lunch for work.
