Tasting Notes

Nose

Nectarine and honey are the first thing I get on the nose. Black pepper and baking spice with a rich caramel are backing up the fruity scent.

Palate

The initial taste of this is quite complex. I get some tropical fruit, rich and nutty caramel, and a black pepper spice. Really get the taste of the malt at the transition to the finish that tastes like I just put malted barley into my mouth. Finish has a bit of citrus and bitterness that makes me think of hops. It also has a little funk to it with a touch of sulfur and a dry vegetal quality. Finish is long but light. While this certainly didn’t need water the addition brought out even more of what I got in the nose with more sweetness on the front and spice on the mid palate. I also found the touch of water made the finish much cleaner.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash 46% ABV. Aged 21 years and finished in oloroso, Palo Cortado, and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks
