Dry Fly Cask Strength Straight Wheat Whiskey

This is really strong on the nose and needs to open. The nose was very much wheater traditional, in fact I couldn’t tell it apart from Rebel Yell 100. The flavor on the palette is apricot preserves finishing in amaretto. Really unique and flat out my favorite wheater, destroying Weller and Rebel Yell 10 year. Amazing!

Strong twinge of alcohol on the nose, along with oak. Starts with a rush of spice and floral, and slowly transforms into a seaside resort of sea salt.

Such a light sweet beginning with the ending of straight heat. Love this one.

This is for Ace Spirits barrel selection from 2018 I believe. First thing the nose reminds me of is high esters Jamaican rum like Hampden's. Nose texture? I think I finally found it. Alcohol attack is subtle for its high proof. These give way for sweetness. Fermented honey and dried figs. Palate is warm and inviting, marble cake with rum raisins. :then the high proof pounces a bit, leaving a nice afterglow finish of sweet brown sugar with cardamom spice. For some strange reason this 100% wheat of a dram screams RUM. I would definitely spike my tea with this one.

Comes in hot and leaves a little sweet. Not my favorite.

I'm a fan of anything cask strength because I like the flavor intensity and don't mind a bit of burn on my way to understanding what the distiller was going for. I think there are a couple of harsh reviews about this whiskey, maybe too harsh. Is it great? No. But it is rather good as an opportunity to taste a full-wheat whiskey and to explore something different. I agree that it should have stayed in the barrel for a few more years to give the angels a bit more and gain a lot more from the charred oak. Maybe next time.

A little hot, a little sweet, and definitely young. The bones of a good whiskey are here, but it will need a few tweaks. I’ll definitely be visiting later editions of this to see how they have progressed!
