I have to admit I'm not the biggest white whiskey fan. I don't have many bottles and the one's I do have I use for cocktails only. Death's Door white whiskey is one of the few that I've seen in multiple stores, so I figured it must be one of the better one's out there. The nose is a bit uninspiring, with a bit of malt and rye bread. The palate is decent enough, nothing to write home about, but it has a touch of vanilla and pepper and is semi-oily. The finish has some anise and a bit of sweetness. I was expecting more burn, but there was little there. Overall, I'm surprised at how poorly this is reviewed. Taking it for what it is, I think it's a pretty decent white whiskey. It obviously is nowhere near as good as normal aged whiskies, but for the category it seems fine enough. I probably still wouldn't try this neat again, too many better things out there, but it seems to hold up well in the few cocktails that do call for white whiskey.
