Virginia Black American Whiskey

Tastes like a young rye with something sweet added

lots of cherry and much else for me.

This is a weird one. There has to be some added sweetener in here, because it’s a lot more sugary than expected. Both the nose and palate have the same quality: caramel corn. Sugary caramel on popcorn. A touch of charred wood comes in on the finish, as well as a dusty, papery taste. It’s not bad I guess? I admit I was sold by the bottle, but I feel it’s underwhelming for the price. A sweetened, <4yr old blended whiskey for $40 bucks. It’s not terrible but I won’t bother with it again.

whiskey is not aged long enough and lacks flavor.
