Tasting Notes
Nose
At first blush we have alcohol vapor greeting our sinuses; its young, so this is to be expected. However, once our senses adjust, we are welcomed to orange citrus, bright wildflowers, clover, and white sugar. The #4 char and oak barrels make a subtle backdrop to the floral notes as the smells fade. It is pleasant given the age of this whiskey.
Palate
The whiskey is smooth across the tongue, although a little watery for my taste. The mouthfeel is more sophisticated than it should be given the age, but still consistent for a new whiskey. We begin the banquet with baking spices and coffee acidity, before mellowing into black cherries and the citrus from the nose. Towards the finish we have the oak char and lingering caramel sweetness from the sugar maple charcoal filtering iconic to Tennessee whiskey. There is a sharp warmth to the chest, nothing worthy of a bad country song, but a reminder this is whiskey. On the exhale a wisp of cigar smoke emerges before disappearing. The finish is short and light.
