Tasting Notes

About:

An American single malt whiskey; 90 proof; mash bill: 88% pale malt, 8% crystal malt, 2% pale chocolate malt, 2% Munich malt; aged minimum of three years; 90 proof; $64 for a 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
This whiskey is a rich amber in color, and has a subtle brightness that is incredibly alluring.
Nose:
a light pleasant aroma of campfire smoke.
Palate:
stone fruit, anise, with a gentle finish of both dark chocolate, and a very light smoke. With some of my sips I could almost taste a little peat moss smoke, likely come from the mashbill that Paul developed for this whiskey. Please note – No peat malt was used in this whiskey.
Finish:
Comments:
I first sampled this whiskey earlier in 2018, and I like it so much that I bought a bottle of my own to take home with me. I then enjoyed it throughout the fall; this is a perfect whiskey for cool fall evenings. In fact, I can’t think of a season that this whiskey would not go well with. rn
