Nose: Smoke, sweet maple, chard brisket, pungent fruit. Taste: Bitter smoke, meat, mint, hot and spicy BBQ sauce, black pepper, sea salt. Experience: Sitting down for mesquite smoked BBQ on a hot dusty day. You are sweating as you eat it but you forget the heat as the savory sweet food takes all your attention. This whiskey is like it's home state. Incredibly interesting while often overlooked for not being what most people think they want. It stands out as an example that American whiskey can be more than bourbon while still competing with the complexity of Scotch. Wish more distilleries had Hamilton's balls.
