Tasting Notes

Nose

This initially comes across as muted and subtle on the nose. With time, hints of chocolate, wood polish, and ripe apricots emerge. As the whiskey sat in the glass, it began to show notes of mineral-rich sea salt, malted puffed cereal, cocoa powder, and Samoas Girl Scout cookies. This quickly became my favorite aromatically of the line up with its appetizing and mineral nose that changed significantly over time.

Palate

This is one of the more aromatic whiskeys in the summer line up. I taste notes of raw honey with a rich sense of whole vanilla beans and sassafras root beer. The body is light and zippy with a linen-like crispness to the alcohol. Am I sipping on a chocolate ice cream root beer float? Theres a note of yeast here like a whole grain bread dough fermenting while dense rye bread is being pulling steaming from the oven.
