Tasting Notes
Nose
New-mown grass in the late morning sun. And lets just continue that toffee story, shall we? Because its got that browned butter and sugar meld late on the nose as well. And finally, honeycrisp apple.
Palate
This is very nice! It begins honey but not cloying, like a honey caramel and then tingles at the finish. The vibe is cinnamon pop-rocksbut without the weird artificial flavoring. As if you had a sip of whiskey and then a hit of a sparkling water. Its a fun little frizzy fizz, like old timey Kansas City, I suppose. Its refreshing, in a summery way, I do not often think about whiskey in the summerand that is dumb. Its sippable easily, maybe a little too easily. The port cask finishing adds smoothness and that sort of sweet without being too much, just enough to smooth out any rough edges, which I dont think this whiskey has in the first place. Id drink this neat and dont think it requires a single droplet of water or sliver of ice.
Finish
Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash A high-wheat (80%) whiskey, finished in port barrels; 100 proof; about $75. Appearance: Aside from the bottle looking super-cool and old-timey in the most flattering way, its reddish brown in the bottle, like a shiny mahogany floor or a well-brushed horse mane
