Defiant American Single Malt Whisky

Read the story of how this is made. Very unique, a combo of this and aging in Barrell might be a sweet spot? I hate scotch but I love this one even though it has a hint of scotch to it. Otherwise buttery sweet with caramel and vanilla. A smooth drinker, love it. Some of the reviews I see don’t make any sense. Just because it isn’t aged like other bourbons, it’s new, unique and delicious. And yes I’m a NC native so prob a bit biased.

As a North Carolinian, I sincerely wish Defiant the best. But as a scotch and bourbon drinker, I’m just not a fan (as much as I wanted to be). The act of aging a whiskey is fundamental to its excellence, and I’m afraid their shortcut process just doesn’t produce the kind of whiskey I’m looking for.

Delicious. But make no mistake, it’s scotch. My hangover the next day was proof. Drank at the pizza place near ALOFT on a NWCAT trip.

Smooth very thin body, easy drinker

Smells like tequila. Smooth drinking, but not what I expect from a mid-priced whiskey. Do not buy.
