Second Glance American Whiskey

Other Whiskey — Kentucky (bottled in California), USA

Reviewed April 7, 2023 (edited March 1, 2025)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Kentucky distilled whiskey finished in Napa Cabernet barrels, 5 years old, 44 ABV. Tasted neat. Light golden brown in the glass, medium coating legs. Nose is light, sweet grapes and grass. Baking spice and sweet burnt sugar show up front in the mouth, with vanilla, caramel corn, and tannic oak coming later. Lighter flavors overall, and a thin mouth feel. Finishes with some sour wine flavors, and grassy rye spice, mint, and dry oak in a medium long finish. Dry. The wine finish is there, but it doesn't dominate this whiskey--adds a nice fruit essence, but also some sour in the finish that isn't as nice. Surprised that it's this spicy for how little rye (4%) is in the mashbill, but that's ok by me--drinks like a higher rye whiskey, but softer and lighter overall in profile.
