Pendleton Original Canadian Whisky

Thin, but sweet and balanced with minimal burn. I taste caramel. A bit of barrel burn but the balance is really good.

Appearance: The color shines out of the glass as a pale gold. The legs are thin and watery. Nose: The nose is both sweet and funky and both sides seem to fight for dominance. Notes of vanilla, caramel, pancakes with maple syrup, marigolds among other garden flowers fight with craft glue and a strange metallic note. Taste: There is not much going on as far as the palate is concerned except for it's clearly meant to be sweet. Notes of honeysuckle, cheap thin syrup, overripe strawberries, and something like pine sap cover the palate. Finish: The finish is short, thin, and easy going down with no burn. There is also a aftertaste reminiscent of cornbread for me. Thoughts: Well, this Canadian blend was good to try. I'm not disappointed but I'm not impressed either. I think it would be good as a mixer whisky and maybe over ice, but neat it wasn't my cup of tea, or, glass of whisky. The website, as a side note, can also use some work. It was very vague and said pretty generic things like it being actually aged in oak! ...Well no duh, that's every whiskey out there! (Besides moonshine) Anyways, off my rant. It's worth trying, but not falling in love with. Cheers!

Smooth. Not at all spicy for a rye. Rye flavor is subtle. 3.5 rating if that was possible
