Batch 247, Bottle 4782. Love the tall Stranahan bottle, like E.H. Taylor, but with a squared off back... and the metal jigger. Nice new labeling too. Light amber look in the glass, with good legs. Sweet cereal and a dusty floral (chocolate?) on the nose. Malted grain to Malt Balls. Rich, light port oak flavors, banana, and an even (but not hot) ethanol follows. Pleasant lightly oily mouthfeel. Finish is short, but honeyed grain and some spice lingers. It's not hot, but a rather subdued delicate finish. You can see where the peat smoke flavors would fit in if this were a scotch, but it's not. I can see the Distiller pro reviewer's description of chocolate milk on the nose, and I'd add well after the finish--a lingering essence I noticed after a minute or so. First impression: Beautiful expression of American single malt. Don't like scotch peat? Try this for the unpeated single malt essence. Will revisit this review as I get to know this bottle better. Next night: Tried with an iceberg. Initially ice accentuated the sweet cereal and ethanol (which surprised me). With a little time and melt the spice and grain sweetness flattened into a creamy finish. Easy to like this service, if not as complex as neat.
