Tastes

Beautiful bottle. Maybe I don’t appreciate what they are doing here, but it does not strike me as being anywhere close to being worth the price tag (I docked its rating a point b/c of the price). I much prefer what’s coming out of Westland when it comes to American single malts. There is almost a rancid nose to it. But once I get past it, there is a honey & caramel complexity, almost like a thick blend of chamomile & white tea.

Very solid barrel proof rye. The 95% rye mash makes it very spice-forward. The earthiness of MGP shines. Makes a great Old Fashioned. However nothing really stands out to make it worth the price.

Grassy smoke, Cherry, orchard fruit
