Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon

I did a 24 count whiskey blind for the month of December and this ended up at the very bottom. I thought i was drinking a really bad scotch. I couldnt even finish it, the smell is almost as bad as the flavor. 2 years is not enough time for aging in a cold climate. Stick to buying their cocktail style bottles instead.

Hopefully it was an off batch! A complex, Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Iron Smoke Distillery’s in Fairport, New York. Crafted using ingredients from American farms, water from the glacier-formed Finger Lakes & a whisper of sweet apple wood smoke. It has an aromatic birth with notes of grain, wood, fruit & spices; while a rich & thin life adds notes of sweet corn, wheat, vanilla, caramel & butterscotch; that led to a long & complex death with notes of damp hay, day old popcorn, oak & apple wood smoke.

A balanced, Straight Bourbon Whiskey by Iron Smoke Distillery in New York made with a corn, rye & barley mash bill. The grains used in production are exposed to applewood smoke in much the same way that Single Malt Scotch can be exposed to peat smoke. Finally, it is matured in triple charred virgin white oak casks before being bottled. It has a delicate birth with hints of caramel, butterscotch & savory; while an elegant life adds notes of charcoal, oak, spices, vanilla & toasted marshmallow; that led to a dry & complex death with notes of red fruits & a hint of sweet applewood smoke.
