Cedar Ridge The QuintEssential American Single Malt

My go-to vatted American single malt. The wide variety of cask finishes that go into the final product mean there’s always something new to discover but there’s a balance that keeps it from being incoherent. None of the flavors are particularly challenging so I expect this to appeal to a variety of palates.

Much more rummy than it should be

I can’t wait for the next decade to see what the later year expressions are like!

Sweet malt , cherries,cola, peat, and a cinnamon finish

This is fantastic! It reminds me of making cherry pie pockets when camping, but with a brioche bread and some baking spices. There is a decent amount of smoke, red fruits and spice. Totally worth the price.
