This is an American take on a single malt whisky. It was supplied by a member of our scotch sample trading group as an extra. Our extras range from craft beer to tequila to gin to Indian whisky to bourbon and even other scotches. This one was sent by Scott from Long Island. He picked it up on a trip to Baltimore, MD. Thanks, my friend. It’s a deep mahogany in color and makes some fat legs in the taster. It gives off your typical bourbon aromas on the nose: vanilla, cinnamon and fresh cut cedar. The palate is a bit harsh, but I found that this stuff is only 2 years old and was aged in very small, 10 gallon charred oak barrels and made using malted barley sourced from the Pacific Northwest. The finish is hot, somewhat harsh and long. You can tell it’s very young, but the flavor and punch are there. It would be very cool to try this stuff after it sits in the barrel for 7-8+ years. I’d love to know if it mellowed while it kept extracting that beautiful charred oak flavor profile. As is, it’s better than I expected but I’d have a hard time justifying more than 3.25-3.5 stars. Overall, an enjoyable extra. Thanks again, Scott. Cheers.
