Tamworth Distilling Dunce Whiskey landed on my desk, carrying a $39.99 Aromas of honey-comb, vanilla, pine-bark and dandelion Flavors of light maple-syrup, lemon pe price tag. Here is what I found.
Nose
Aromas of honey-comb, vanilla, pine-bark and dandelion
Palate
Flavors of light maple-syrup, lemon peel and mild sweet paprika. Finish is minimal with barrel spice lingering only briefly until dissipating entirely.
Finish
Dunce is an interesting package with less interesting contents. The whiskey is not by any means bad but lacks a lot of the body that is usually found in brands that fit under the American Straight regulations. If youre looking for a good replacement for your usual whiskey and coke, Dunce might be a good fit.
The Bottom Line
Tamworth Distilling Dunce Whiskey is fine — not bad, not great, just fine. At $39.99 Aromas of honey-comb, vanilla, pine-bark and dandelion Flavors of light maple-syrup, lemon pe, I think there are better options in this range if you are willing to look around.
