Type: American
Price: $90/ 750ml bottle

Whiskey Review is a American whisky. Our expert rating is 9/10.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Plum, orange, raspberry, and champagne grape can be detected. In addition, Herbes de Provence, vanilla bean, oak ester, dark chocolate, and brown sugar rear their pretty heads. Let me catch my breath. Wow. Just fantastic. These non-fruit scents all hang back patiently, like supporting actors, to make the 5.1 a virtuoso performance.

Palate

As with the Highland Park 25, this baby lingers on and on and on. Honey duels with the slightly bitter oak, along with a tantalizing marshmallowy nougat, which clings to the back of the tongue, ultimately outlasting the rest. Yes, the label on my sample bottle says the oak used in this release is primarily American, but I taste European casks thrown into the mix, as well. In fact, both kinds of wood complement each other quite nicely.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Aged in charred, new American white oak barrels and finished in Calvados brandy barrels, 48.5%% ABV, mash bill: 100% house-malted barley, SRP $90/ 750ml bottle
