Tasting Notes

Nose

New-mown grass in the late morning sun. And let’s just continue that toffee story, shall we? Because it’s got that browned butter and sugar meld late on the nose as well. And finally, honeycrisp apple.

Palate

This is…very nice! It begins honey but not cloying, like a honey caramel and then tingles at the finish. The vibe is cinnamon pop-rocks—but without the weird artificial flavoring. As if you had a sip of whiskey and then a hit of a sparkling water. It’s a fun little frizzy fizz, like old timey Kansas City, I suppose. It’s refreshing, in a summery way, I do not often think about whiskey in the summer—and that is dumb. It’s sippable easily, maybe a little too easily. The port cask finishing adds smoothness and that sort of sweet without being too much, just enough to smooth out any rough edges, which I don’t think this whiskey has in the first place. I’d drink this neat and don’t think it requires a single droplet of water or sliver of ice.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash A high-wheat (80%) whiskey, finished in port barrels; 100 proof; about $75. Appearance: Aside from the bottle looking super-cool and old-timey in the most flattering way, it’s reddish brown in the bottle, like a shiny mahogany floor or a well-brushed horse mane
