Rúa American Single Malt

This is a tasting of batch 51. I had previously had a couple bottles of batch 18 that impressed me...but it’s been a while. This bottle is good, but not quite as good as I remember the batch 18 bottles being. Still, for a whiskey aged a mere 16 months, it’s not bad. Very much a sweet grain and vanilla aroma and flavor, reminiscent of Irish whiskey, but a bit yeastier. Considering that Great Wagon Road Distilling has only been around since 2013, I’d say they’re off to a great start, considerably better than any other young craft whiskey I’ve had. I look forward to the day they are able to release a bottle that’s been aged for years instead of months.

Tastes like scotch

Tastes more like scotch than most young whisky.
