Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey

Can’t pick out the flavors but there’s a lot going on

1st dram notes from a 750ml bottle purchase... color - nice golden amber/copper, nose: it's bourbon and it's pronounced, not soft and it lingers for a long time. Taste: Cherry, chocolate, vinalla, carmel… it's a candy bar of sorts... Is this Willits or Noah's Mill? I know it's bottled by Michter's from the label and I know it's made in KY, that's all I know for certain. I like this dram a lot even if it's only 45% abv. Medium finish. I'll gladly polish this bottle off but at this price, I'll probably spend my money on others... 8/8/2019 update: at $69.99 it's a steal... I bought a second bottle!

Deep sour, and almost root beer-y flavor without to much bite. I like !

Mild nose. Smooth on the palate. Floral, caramel, dark chocolate. Spice kicks up on the finish. 2/1/19

vanilla added
