Tasting Notes

About:

70 proof, 35% ABV. Aged two years in charred new American oak and then infused. Average price is around $19 per 750ml.
Appearance:
A golden orange. Just swirling the whiskey in a glass, you can tell that it’s quite viscous and there were a lot of legs going on along the side.
Nose:
Very sweet. You immediately get the impression of peach candy mixed with a touch of nectarine. I was hoping to pick up aromas of the pecan element, but the peach simply dominated.
Palate:
It was simple and also a conundrum. As per the nose, the peach element took center stage in the beginning and then it got a touch weird. In the middle there is a distinct flavor of watermelon hard candy and then in the finish, it circles back to its namesake with a finish of toasted pecan. It’s a pretty full bodied whiskey, so the finish lasts a while.

Comments:
First impression was, huh, that’s not terrible. Second impression was that I’ll never drink this straight, though its possible application in cocktails could be a good thing, especially in small doses. It could also be useful in the kitchen as an ingredient to a vinaigrette or some kind of sauce. Maybe even glaze a pork chop with it. So yeah, not terrible.rnrn
