Mayor Pingree Red Label Bourbon

Neat. Neck pour. Batch 12. Excited to try their whiskey. I have a few Mayor Pingree MGP but this is my first of theirs. This nose is pure candy. Caramel, butterscotch and vanilla. Bit of oak tying it together. Little salt to go with the caramel. Little apple is emerging as well. It’s a very good nose. Texture is average, but it immediately lights up the tongue with peanut brittle. Wow, that is packed with flavor just on the tongue. Transitions to the salted caramel and vanilla. Bit of apples on the medium to short finish. This is a solid intro to their whiskey. The nose is fantastic. It was a bit underwhelming on the taste at first, a bit generic. But some air time opened it up a bit. I am most intrigued by that initial blast of peanut brittle. This makes me excited and hopeful as their stock ages a bit more.

Thanks @Kyle-Metes-Randolph! @brandymcnamara
