Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose is high toned and opens with a hint of fresh rubber and a touch of volatile acidity. Fruit and spice notes jump out of the glass, with heady aromas of brandy-soaked dried sour cherries, dried orange peels, baked clay, and firewood. This is no slouch in the aromatics department, but its fruit and spice profile keeps it from smelling saccharine or one-note. Theres a subtle note of fresh bakers yeast and antique wood furniture.

Palate

On the tongue, this offers a stronger kick and firm tannins. Pungent spice, cedar, and oxidative notes build into a crescendo. There are long and lingering aromas of cola spice, walnut skins, vanilla ice cream, and a hint of orange creamsicle. This reminds me of mixing together all the sodas in a soda machine, without the sugary sweetness, of course. The distillery writes that this whiskey shows intense notes of black cherry, rich molasses, honeysuckle, roasted pecans, toasted charred oak. Though I might squabble over specific notes, I agree that it is boldly flavored. Theres so much going on and the finish lasts and lasts with powerful fruit and spicy aromas. This might just be the best root beer float ever.
