Neat. Neck pour. ADHD Whiskey’s personal blend. 65% light whiskey, 35% rye, 15% bourbon. I like light whiskey but it all tends to taste the same regardless of the barrel/bottle. Let’s see if Matt added some depth.
It’s light whiskey with an added dimension of fruit. So butterscotch, light caramel, graham cracker honey all come through. Then I am getting a combination of blood orange and watermelon (this may be the first time I called out watermelon). The watermelon has been salted too. Not getting much else but it’s oddly refreshing.
Mouthfeel is average. Very very sweet up front. Those fruits are coming through (watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew) immediately accompanied by butterscotch. Geez, medley of fruits and honey mid palate. Butterscotch, honey and graham cracker in the medium finish. Butterscotch sweetness really persists.
This is 107 proof and it is dangerously crushable. The melons were unexpected so the blend did successfully add a dimension to light whiskey. It is a fun pour and a good value too.
