This is the brainchild of two childhood friends from Basking Ridge, NJ. Same county I grew up in. Though, it’s sourced from MGP, and I’m not sure where these guys are operating. It’s a four-grain, bottles at 40% ABV. Nose: Dusty corn and vanilla leap out of the glass. Plenty of oak, cocoa, brown sugar, butterscotch, and caramel. Some apple, orange, and pecan pie. Clove, nutmeg, and a sliver of ginger. Artificial cherry note. A bit sweet, but overall pretty good. Palate: Vanilla, caramel, Apple Jack cereal. I also get a bit of rye-esque-dill. Whole grain grain bread. Very light, and lacking in complexity. Not offensive in any way, but 40% ABV is not the answer here. Finish: Cocoa, chocolate sweetness quickly changes to clove, nutmeg, cinnamon spicy. Plenty of oak. Somewhere between short and moderate length. Didn’t enjoy this as much as I’d hoped. It’s MGP-sourced by local entrepreneurs. Four-grain is interesting. But 40% ABV is a major weak point. A solid nose, disappointing palate, average finish. Doesn’t offer anything I haven’t had before. Definitely potential here. If it could drink like it noses, I’d be a fan. I’ll give them a shot in the future. I know there’s a second batch, as well as a cask strength line. Not sure how they vary from this, but I’d be open to seeing how this whiskey progresses. Until the next one.
