Lonehand Whiskey

A delicate sour mash whiskey made in Tennessee using the Lincoln County Process, Maple charcoal filtered & oak aged. It has a soft birth with notes of vanilla & caramel; while life is rich adding notes of oak; that led to a quick & sweet death. June / November 2018 / February / June 2019 / August 2022

The nose pops with super glue or adhesive fumes, then a second chance generously gifts a note of artificial cherry like in the pull apart Twizzlers, The palate begins watery and unpleasant but blessedly improves into the finish, but not by much. The finish is tangy but veiled; it leaves you wanting (specifically, a better whiskey.) I poured the rest of my glass into some eggnog, hopefully that will improve it. *sips* Yes, that did the trick.

Sweet but there is a long lingering plastic finish

Strong peanut shell

Smells like a funky cherry. Light flavor. Little to no notes. Doesn’t burn or have a bad aftertaste. Very uneventful.

Decent, low proof, but a little burn going down
