Deerhammer American Single Malt

My family came back from Colorado and brought this with them. I get chocolate covered raisins on the nose. There’s some cinnamon/nutmeg in there too. Reminds me of raisin bread. Deep, dark bitter chocolate flavors on palate. I get some some vanilla in there. There’s spiciness to this whiskey throughout. You can feel the spice in this too. Also, I get a nutty sweetness on the finish. This is so interesting and worth exploring more. I’m really curious how the open top fermentation and the direct flame pot distillation affects the taste too. Mad props to Deerhammer for this whiskey. Now if only they could distribute in Texas...

Mellow, vanilla, cream soda
