This one gets a holy hell yeah. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for making me open my eyes to an American distillery that actually does a single malt. Wow, the nose gets up right in your face with a sherry bomb explosion, and you can smell the spices, apples, and other ruby red fruits in there as well. A heavy mouth coat that also brings out both milk and dark chocolate, espresso, maple syrup, hot buttered popcorn, and cinnamon on the palate. I've never touched a muscat grape (from muscatel wine) but it's damn good. It's too bad on this being a rare bottle, but I would definitely have no issue with trying something else by them. A little more age might make it even more interesting. A fat 4.5 from me.

@Generously_Paul, did you mean to say, “fell off the truck under mysterious circumstances”? :)
Well, at least I know where I stand now hahaha
Thanks for the vote of confidence @PBMichiganWolverine, but I fear @LeeEvolved would badger me incessantly to send him bottles that “fell off the truck”
@LeeEvolved I’d so not hire you and @Telex. Two of you would literally drink the revenue stream. Instead I’d hire @Generously_Paul, b/c I need that anal retentive, sorry I mean eye for detail, skill set. 🙂
@Rick_M @Telex- I’m waiting on the announcement that @PBMichiganWolverine has bought an operating distillery and needs dedicated employees for various jobs onsite. I can’t say I love NJ, but I’d be willing to relocate if the pay is good. I know the whisky will be.
@Telex This theme for this one should be "Hell, Yeah!" by Montgomery Gentry.
@PBMichiganWolverine, Fortune 5 leaves an impression. :)
@Rick_M dude I’m impressed how you still remembered they were free and there were 2!
@PBMichiganWolverine - looks like those 2 free bottles are still paying dividends. :)
@Telex I really like where these guys at Westland are going. They do one thing and one thing only: make an American single malt. And they do it really well
