Whisky Review is a American whisky. ABV: 43% ABV. Our expert rating is 9/10.

Tasting Notes

Nose

The aroma has a really pleasant sweetness to it, almost like a fruit jam that’s been mixed with honey. But the citric notes are muted by the combination of a mellow, woody scent that mixes in nicely.

Palate

The flavor is incredibly smooth and is comparable to some of the best Japanese whiskies that I’ve tried. On their website one of the descriptors the brand used is “black forest gateau,” which I have to say is more accurate than anything else I could think of. There’s a light chocolate flavor, with a hint of dark cherry, and then more than anything else a really unique earthy-ness to it all (to take the ‘forest’ in ‘black forest’ literally).

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Mash Bill: 100% malted barley. 43% ABV
