Reviewed September 4, 2021 (edited September 21, 2021)Smooth, especially for the proof. Sweet but not candy. Good stuff going on. Will constantly monitor for cost and availability. -

Reviewed August 20, 2021 (edited October 26, 2021)Batch 56. Bottled April 11, 2021. 57.89% ABV (handwritten on the front label). N: Lots of oak, cinnamon, caramel, and lots of ethanol - bit too much. Behind that, little bit of orange citrus, vanilla, red fruit, and a dry sugar cookie. Tough to get much beyond the ethanol though. Powdered chocolate drops in late, after a few sips. P: Sweet, but somehow restrained. The early palate on this is weird - after that initial sweetness, feels like there's just a dead spot where you taste almost nothing. Then caramel, cinnamon, and orange drop in. Cinnamon candy, baking spice, mint, tobacco. Dried grains with an inhale across it on the tongue. Finish is a lot of vanilla colored by oak. Tannins linger in both a mild bitterness and a decent puckering in the cheeks. Little bit more of that orange pops here and there with some moving of the tongue. This is okay. Feels like there's potential in the juice that's not quite realized. It feels unpolished in a way that suggests it was released at cask strength to cash in on a popular trend, not necessarily because it's amazing straight from the barrel.* I think there's probably a version of this whiskey, somewhere between 50 and 55%, cut with the right water, that's really really nice. As bottled, however, this has some rough edges - too rough for an $80 bottle. * Smoke Wagon's website disagrees, says this was meant to be drank neat, because that's the juice at its best. Meh. Can say anything on a website - I still think it's selling to a trend, not making a great product by itself.80.0 USD per Bottle -
