April 27, 2017 (edited June 6, 2017)
Nose - Hint of vanilla, dried apples, dark chocolate laden sweet bread, oaked chardonnnay, hint of orange zest.
Taste - Sweet honey, toasted oat cereal, like Honey Smacks cereal, caramel corn, Cracker Jack, cocoa nibs, creme brulee, dried apples.
Finish - Lingering Cracker Jack / caramel corn, cocoa nibs, latte foam, sweet roasted nuts.
Score - 88/100
Final Thoughts - I like what Westland is doing with their multi-malt mashbill. I think their pale chocolate malt and brown malt add this very nice nuttiness that helps hide this whiskey's youth very well. Their standard offering is very tasty on its own given its youth and I can only imagine what some additional time in barrels will do to mellow out this malt and smooth out the rough edges.
