I got this bottle (a fifth) for $49.99 at the Uptown Total Wine store here in Albuquerque. It's 116 proof, has a two year age statement, and is dark copper in the glass. The mash bill is 70% white corn, 25% rye, and 5% sprouted barley.
NOSE: Over a number of dives into the glass I got dark caramel, something that I can only characterize as warm, green leaves, brown sugar, eucalyptus, butter, bread, musty corn, and cornbread.
MOUTHFEEL: Heavy and creamy - I thought of saying oily, but it doesn't quite fit that word.
TASTE: Again it took several sips for me to get caramel, brown sugar, butter, honey, milk chocolate, and red pepper.
FINISH: Medium, with milk chocolate, a little red pepper, and a little oak.
SUMMARY: The nose and palate are so complex that it's hard to pick out specific notes - but it's DELICIOUS. This is everything the Musician promises but doesn't deliver. This is excellent whisky.
RATING: My hick system has eight levels, with 8 being the highest. I give this that eighth rating, Mighty Fine. That comes out to 5 stars, or 100/100 or 10/10.
