Tasting Notes

Nose

Initially this felt rich without being overpowering. Surprisingly alcohol is still present although muted. Spring flowers with light milled grains slowly release from the nose. On the back end is the distinct sour yeast aroma as it warms up. Almost a lager or pilsner malt note.

Palate

Yeas forward which gives way to some bready, malty flavors. The whiskey is very dry and soaks up all the moisture in your mouth. After a sip or two I was able to discover some good sour notes with balanced flavorings lemon zest. The finish was quick, a little too quick. There is a residual taste of earthiness on the back end. A small warmth in the chest but otherwise very soft across all aspects of the sip.
