Corn and citrus and vanilla First sip: WhistlePig never fails to deliver on the fruit for me- citrus and faint banana, and caramel coming behind that. Slightly tannic. It’s not as sweet as the other WhistlePigs I’ve tried- definitely less sweet than the regular 10year. Some definite heat. After it sits: not much change. Maybe some kettle corn, but it’s still more tannic than sweet. With water: I added a bit and it made the eye even hotter… so I added a bit more and it toned it down. It toned down the flavor, though, so that’s a bummer. I’m not one to add ice to my bourbon, usually, but I might consider it with this one. I *like* it (I always like WhistlePig), but I don’t love it. I definitely don’t like it as much as the regular 10-year (I’m trying them side-by-side, because Saturday and Science,) so I’d probably save my money in the future.
