After the rave reviews from @ctbeck11 and @PBMichiganWolverine , my interest was piqued to sample this one, plus they are currently available for purchase from Seelbachs, so time to try it out before I buy it thanks to a generous sample provided by @jonwilkinson7309 Once I opened the sample and poured it in my glass, the first thing you notice is that this is a hot one that caused some sinus damage on the first nosing. After a good dose of water and a little time, it calms that alcohol bite down then really opens up with a thick rich butterscotch cream cheese frosting that seems to be filling my living room at the moment. The nose starts with that rich butterscotch cream cheese frosting followed by toasted marshmallow and fresh made cornbread then fruits of sautéed cinnamon apples and black cherries that transitions to barrel spices of ginger, cloves, nutmeg, rugged Cowboy boots and sun soaked old barn with high ethanol burn. The taste is a rich mouthfeel starting with a high wood spice that fades to rich butterscotch cream cheese frosting followed by burnt black marshmallow and fresh made cornbread with honey on top then fruits of sautéed cinnamon apples and black cherries that transitions to barrel spices of ginger, cloves, nutmeg, rugged Cowboy boots and sun soaked old barn with high ethanol burn. The finish is long with butterscotch pudding, stroopwafel cookies, apple pie filling, black cherries, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, leather and old polished oak. Wow, I did not expect a young corn whiskey to be so good with a rich decadent nose, mouthfeel and taste with notes of thick caramel, citrus and fairly well balanced oak. The only downside for this one is that the oak comes on a bit too much, overpowering the taste in the front before finally fading to allow those notes from the taste to come through. In a side by side with Saint Cloud 7 year, the Saint Cloud was much better balanced while the Ironroot’s high oak bite was its main fault. At a price tag of $108, I’d say that this is a good value for those that enjoy big bold Texas whiskey.
