Tasting Notes

Nose

As with the color: barely there. I poured more in the glass to see if that would procure a scent. It did not. I sniffed deeper. I have not ever been close to paper pulp, but I have lived near a paper mill. This smells ever so slightly like a benign whiff of that aroma on days the wind would blow just right. Otherwise, there is truly nothing there. I find this impressive, actually. It’s like a scented version of those quiet rooms that will drive you insane if you spend too much time there.

Palate

This is..unpleasant. I have tasted moonshine of dodgy origin; that tasted better. This tastes like whiskey that someone had to hustle off the fermentation track. Whiskus interruptus. Not only does it look and smell completely unaged, it tastes that way, too. If I strain, like really, really, really strain, I can distantly locate some elements of caramel, but again, it’s more like sweetness that has just barely begun to caramelize. More like sugar cubes you’d feed a horse.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash No mash bill available, but at least 51% corn; aged a minimum of two years in new oak; 91 proof; about $40. In the bottle: extremely pale gold
