Tasting Notes

Nose

At first muted, this offers up a touch of warm chocolate, wildflower honey, and molasses. There’s a suggestions of toasted brown bread. As it opens in the glass, it gives off bright citrus and floral notes that evokes Szechuan peppercorns, vanilla bean paste, maple sugar candies, and an earthy note like chopped fresh button mushrooms.

Palate

This offers notes of sweet, juicy pears and graham crackers with a savory character like a pinch of tomato paste. It has fine, lingering tannins and a fiery kick. This finishes on the palate with notes of roasted green tea, puffed rice cereal, and vanilla. Those who prefer their sipping whiskey a touch more reasonable in terms of ABV are encouraged to add a splash of water to tone it down.

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Aged for six years in new American oak before finishing in XO cognac barrels for 18 months, 62.5% ABV, mash bill: 72% corn, 13% rye, 15% malted barley, SRP $199
