Dry Fly Straight Washington Wheat Whiskey
Wheat Whiskey — Washington , USA
Reviewed December 15, 2019 (edited December 23, 2019)I've always had a soft spot for Spokane since visiting as a preteen on a family road trip to Yellowstone and seeing the falls on the Spokane River. Maybe it's just sentimentality, but I liked this whiskey a lot. It needs some time in the glass to open up and let the ethanol dissipate. Once it has, the sweet wheat and caramel on the nose are inticing. The creamy palate displays more sweet wheat and caramel. It's also a little hot. The same notes appear in the medium length finish. -

Blended — Scotland
Reviewed December 9, 2019 (edited December 19, 2019)Sweet, waxy orchard fruits and wood smoke on the nose, same on the creamy palate and medium finish. I found this easy sipper to be quite enjoyable.
