Teeling Single Grain Whiskey

My son finished the Maryland bar exam today and we celebrated by opening this bottle that his sister gave him and watching the Orioles play the Rockies. Definitely a worthwhile pour for the event. We both picked up the vodka-like nose that was mellowed with some added water allowing the buttery caramel notes to come through. The palate neat was spicy, more like a red zin than a Cabernet. Water brought out an oily mouth feel. The finish was peppery. The empty glass was a very nice buttery oak. If the O's win I may just have another.
