Tasting Notes

About:

4-year Tennessee Straight Whiskey, 47% abv. MSRP $37.99.
Appearance:
Copper with quick legs.
Nose:
The nose here is light and woody up front. Some grass or summer hay is present, along with oak. There is a kiwi or tropical fruit, summer flowers, and white sugar. I found the nose over it is very light and easy going.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
This whiskey is a long ride, I’m just not certain I want to be on it. For its age this is a nice whiskey, I think the price is right too. I found a lot of imbalances, pieces needed time to mature I just didn’t find that here. The base components, I feel, have a great profile but until they can mellow out a bit they’re just harsh. If we could amplify the sweetness of the nose through the palate this whiskey would be a ringer. Maybe the 8-year has a mellower profile that can really play to its strengths. For now though, this is simply a fine whiskey.
