Tasting Notes

Nose

Speaking of gingerbread, there is some ginger on the nose. Not as spicy as gingerbread, but it is sweet. Graham crackers with cinnamon, but the cinnamon smells a little synthetic, like its made in a factory. And toffee.

Palate

Cinnamon on the palate too, and a little fake-tasting here as well. I wrote about a Yellowstone whiskey recently that screamed it was 100 proof, and I feel like that about this one, too. It starts spicy and ends sweet, and I wish it started a little smoother too; it smooths out by the end but it definitely calls attention to itself. Look how rock & roll I am, it boasts. Its not a personal affront, but its like the palate equivalent of making my ears ring. Like Im at a show (and I dont enjoy live music, most of it sounds like loud to me) and I would rather be home in bed having washed all the sweat and people off me and be reading a book. That said, I did give this a try a couple days later and I found myself liking it more than I did initially. Maybe it needed time to grow on me. Like

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash About $100, 100 proof, high-rye (22 percent) Tennessee bourbon; 10 years old. Light brown to gold, dark tan, like gingerbread that darkens as it cools
