Tasting Notes

About:

115 proof (57.5% ABV) 51% corn, 45% wheat, and 4% malted barley. Distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, in new, charred American oak barrels. Blended and bottled in Austin, Texas. $51.00 MSRP
Appearance:
Clear, pale straw. No turbidity, yet faint rivulets form long, streaking tears.
Nose:
A medium approach gives us some warm umami, nuts and honey
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Despite the pale color and faint aroma, this whiskey has a surprising amount of flavor once it crosses the lips. There’s personality, dimension, and a little viscosity to ponder as it tells its story on your palate. This would be a decent sipper on it’s own, perhaps as you discuss your favorite bands to see live.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
