Natterjack Irish Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill: 80% Corn 20% Malt. Aged first in used bourbon barrels and then transferred to new, American oak. 40% ABV.
Appearance:
Light Gold,
Nose:
Custardy and rich while also having an encompassing sweetness.
Palate:
Custard is the word I’m going to use again because the taste and texture are so sweet and smooth, along with a little bit of vanilla flavor, that the dessert seems like the best comparison that I can think of. There’s hardly any kick to the whiskey either, giving it a very gentle flavor profile overall.
Finish:
Comments:
Natterjack’s first release is sweet and subtle, delivering a relaxing texture to go along with a nice sweet and vanilla flavor. There’s hardly any kick, so this would be a great whiskey for those who don’t like to deal with the heat. I do wish the flavor profile popped just a little bit more and maybe gave us a little more Irish malt rather focusing then so heavily on the American Bourbon side of things.rnrnOverall though, I think Natterjack delivered something worth trying with their first batch and I’m excited to see what they produce in the future.
