Quest’s End Whiskey Paladin — the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.
Nose
A lighter golden amber, like what the light from a paladins magic might look like as she casts a spell. The legs on this run long and deep.
Palate
Very light and ethereal, like what I imagine the smell of elven bread to be, with barely there hints of vanilla and oak. Theres also a bit of a nutmeg smell, however, which seems a bit out of sorts.
Finish
Very gentle, very easy, opening up like a treasure chest into some flavor characteristics of vanilla, oak, bright spices, floral considerations and a tiny hint of caramel. The finish, however, is not pleasant, like rolling a 1 on a d20, leaving a lingering, unbalanced mix of sweet and spice that takes too long to go away.
The Bottom Line
Quest’s End Whiskey Paladin is fine — not bad, not great, just fine. if you are willing to look around.
