Tasting Notes

About:

Kentucky single malt. 87 proof. Seven years. Mash bill: 100% malted barley. Lexington, Kentucky. $37.
Appearance:
Russet muscat in color.
Nose:
The nose is slightly sweet and very pleasant. I get hints of fresh cut grass and citrus. Seems like a late summer day in a bottle.
Palate:
This Town Branch Single Malt Whiskey was smooth with a little burn in the finish. There was caramel, orange, autumn spice, with a bitter vegetable finish. It might not sound like the best combination but just think of how squash can be both savory and sweet. This single malt whiskey had all those warming spices, but it also gave my stomach a nice warm feeling. Seems perfect for a cool evening in later summer or fall.
Finish:
Comments:
Because of its warming spices, I think this single malt whiskey would be perfect for sipping on a late summer or fall day. It’s very smooth overall, with a little bite and some slight heat in the belly. It seems like this would make a really great mixer for an old fashioned or Manhattan.
