Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Black Label

Strong caramel taste and a lot of heat. Tried it on a cruise ship. Very nice sipping whisky, cruising the insude passage.

Nose is high octane, sweet and fruity, also grapey and minerally. Palate has more nuance, cherry, chocolate, and peppery, lots of burn. A thickness hangs in the mouth, especially on the teeth. The finish is better than expected. I thought it would turn bitter, but it went sweet and even hotter. It does fade out minerally.. As a rule, I'm not a fan of Tennessee whiskeys. This was a pleasant surprise.

Lots of flavor! Some sweetness and pepper combined. The pepper spiciness lingers but doesn’t detract. Fairly thick viscocity.

Nose is full of complex grains and a litte honey tries to break through the heat. Palate is the same, nice long finish with hints of peppercorn and black pepper.
