Tasting Notes

Nose

From the very first breath in I caught several aromas simultaneously. Caramel, nuts, chocolate enough to distract me for a few seconds wondering what it would take to make a homemade Snickers bar. Theres a recognizable twang of alcohol behind these aromas, but its muted, pleasant and warm.

Palate

Youre not going to catch me talking badly about the way bitterness interacts with round, malt sweetness. The upscale-candy bar impression of the nose is enhanced on the palate. Very little hang-time for a coffee, the key flavors seem to fade after a minute or so leaving a light-toast, almost burnt matches flavor (which Im not knocking as a negative or anything, its just the closest aroma I can name). Final Thoughts: Interesting as a novelty item thats fun for a cup or two, but theres nothing here that makes me want to stop buying my usual beans. I think of the three whiskey-infused coffees I sampled, this was my favorite. The flavors were mutually complementary and well-defined and the influence of the whiskey was clearly discernible.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Deep black of course, but a spectrometer would be required to be more specific and I dont have one handy, slightly thick due to my method of preparation (french press), with a small amount of oiliness showing at the top of the mug.
