Tasting Notes

About:

100% rice, aged in new American oak, 43% ABV. $25-30 for 375 ml. Color: Golden honey
Appearance:
Nose:
This whiskey is different from the first sniff, and I can’t immediately place what I’m picking up. I definitely get honey, but it comes alongside something chemical and funky. I am, in fact, reminded of baijiu. There’s an earthy fermentedness here—aged gouda?—as well as a wholesome toasted-oat graininess. I also get a rich stone fruit note, like cooked peaches.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
If you’re looking to try something new, this is a unique but approachable whiskey that’s well worth trying if you can track down a bottle. The complex, somewhat perplexing nose belies a surprisingly light, drinkable character on the palate. This is a lovely whiskey for sipping neat or over ice as you end your day.
