Westward Oregon Stout Cask Finish

Sharp, sweet nose. Super smooth, good sweetness and chocolate notes. Hint of heat that fades. Creaminess of a stout with the qualities of a scotch. Great dessert whiskey.

a lot going on, p solid.

Tried neat Christmas Eve from my unselfish friend’s advent calendar. Sweet, stone fruit on the nares with a sweet finish on the palate. Always difficult to rate at social gathering without feeling rude or rushed. I was rushed and will come back to this one at some point.

Smells like chocolate , deep and rich. Chocolate nand coffee flavors, excellently blended. Flavors are complex and bold, body and tail are all balanced perfectly. One of those whiskies where everything works perfectly together. Fantastic.

Blind tasting Nose: cherry, chocolate, syrup Taste: really sweet, almost like ice cream but not cloying or offensive sweet. Maybe a hint of smoke at the end. Something sort of dry in the mix or a dustiness. I’d guess it’s on the younger side with a finish in a syrup or beer barrel. This is interesting but can’t imagine enjoying it over and over. Wood: sherry
