Tastes

PX Hogshead Cask. Pilsen Barley. 7 years. 60.5 If you like aggressively sweet and savory whiskeys then you have come to the right place. Nose: syrupy prune juice Palate: (water recommended) Walnuts, dates, prunes, very tannic, and a salty burnt ends BBQ flavor, maybe teriyaki... This is a beast if you drink it neat, and it's too much of a weird anomaly unless you like very bold whiskeys with the notes listed above. Interesting and unusual are its selling points...

Total Wine pick. 101 proof. Seville orange and licorice with a very nice mouthfeel. Debated on a 4...

It took time for this bottle to open up but then it was a lovely salted caramel on nose and palate and charred orange undertones.... so smooth.

A very underrated bottle. It has an aethereal light quality that must be the California wine finish. It also reminds me of a very good Irish whiskey (maybe the ex-bourbon cask?) Gets the nod over Craigellachie 13 and Bruichladdich Islay-Barley for now.

Age is holding this one back, but the mashbill and flavor profile are there. This could be one to watch out for in the future..
