This is Rock Town's own distillate, batch 18, with Phil Brandon as Head Distiller. Tasted neat: Very light nose; a bit of vanilla and perhaps cucumber was all I could pick up. Taste is fairly one-dimensional, with some caramel and oak before a strong medicinal alcohol takes over. Mid-palate and finish is very peppery and drying oak. It may be that too-wide cuts account for the alcohol predominance. Perhaps inferior casks result in the lack of flavor on the nose and in the taste. A splash of water reduces the alcohol and pepper. I reco. mend tryung it on the rocks or in a cocktail.
