Tasting Notes

About:

Proof 110.5. Likely 100% malted barley and six or seven years old. The mash is fermented in large cypress wood fermenting containers in Town Branch Distillery’s glass front room. Town Branch distills in two large, copper pot stills imported from Scotland. The raw whiskey is aged in oak barrels, charred on the inside to char level 5.
Appearance:
Pale yellow, like a hay field on a bright, sunny day.
Nose:
There’s a pleasant aroma of a hay field or a fresh cut fir tree. It’s fresh and earthy.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
I was able to try three Town Branch Single Barrels and this was my favorite of the three. Unlike the bourbon and rye, this malt whiskey tastes better than the nose. The palate was sweeter than I expected and less hot. I still prefer the newer bottles more widely available than this particular single cask.
